I haven't tried this, but I don't see why it would be any different than importing Federal League players. I would create a fictional league and go to the transactions screen, click on import historical players, and input each player's ID (the URL for that player on baseball-reference.com; I'm assuming it has the pre-1900 guys as well) and the year, and they should be imported as free agents in your league. Then you just edit each player and place them on the team you want them to be on.

In theory, that should work, since I did that with Federal League players. And yes, you have to do this player by player, I don't know of a way to import an entire team.
