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.

Zčásti je to vinou malé pozornosti ze strany sdělovacích prostředků, zčásti důsledkem nedostatečné podpory ze strany vědecké obce a zčásti také kvůli absurdním tvrzením členů některých sekt, kteří se na této tematice přiživují. Konečným důsledkem ak je, že se veřejnost jen zřídkakdy setká s odpovědnou a seriozní informací z této oblasti. Kniha "Encyklopedie UFO" se snaží tuto mezeru vyplnit.
