John Spencer si concentra sugli eroi non celebrati dell'Ovest americano, in particolare sugli abolizionisti riluttanti e sui ferventi puritani che hanno plasmato la vita di frontiera. Le sue opere danno vita ai drammi e ai conflitti dell'Illinois antebellico, ponendo l'accento sui combattenti riluttanti per la libertà e sulla loro immensa forza nell'epoca dell'espansione. Lo stile di Spencer deriva da una ricerca meticolosa e dal desiderio di raccontare le storie di coloro che sono rimasti al di fuori delle narrazioni storiche principali. La sua scrittura è un invito a esplorare capitoli meno conosciuti ma significativi della storia americana.
