"Free Spirit: Heart and Soul" by D.C. Rogers is an odd yet accomplished genre blend of historical fiction, western action and fantasy.It depicts the life of Alex Welsh from the moment he leaves the UK for the Americas. His hopes and dreams, the past he leaves behind and the future thought to be ahead of him are well reflected upon on the ship voyage to New York, from where he moves on to set up his own business.His new life is endangered by a posse terrorising the area where he has settled down to earn an honest living, to protect his family and where he has made friends with local Indians. I do have a soft spot for Native Indians and their philosophy and at this part of the story is where the fantasy element comes in as well.The book offers some interesting historical facts and details, contains good suspense and has a great message at the heart of it all. I enjoyed it.
