Tears Of An Angel

Historical fiction has become a huge genre that many authors have taken a stab at over the years. Plenty of authors have been successful too and yet most of these novels are dedicated to a certain theme of pure romance with history sprinkled in throughout its story. But in author K.D. Brogdons Tears of an Angel not only does it have a strong focus on the history action and adventure that are taking place during this time but it covers a historical period and event that has seldom been covered before. I am referring to the events that took place surrounding The Rough Riders - also known as The 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry.Before the Spanish-American war 30 years prior was the American Civil War. But many different groups were struggling since that war from the Americans to Mexicans to Native Americans who were known as Indians at this time. So it is no wonder the Rough Riders had a struggle ahead of them when the Spanish-American war came around with them being severely understaffed. They were also the only regiment to see combat during the Spanish-American war in 1898. This is where the second part of the books focus is with our hero Kenneth Douglas at the forefront of it all. He is a man with a difficult past who is now a Texas Ranger serving as a Rough Rider for Teddy Roosevelt in Cuba.At first we learn a lot about his beginnings including the tragedy that ultimately made him the shattered man we know now. He and his partner Stalking Wolf end up on a new journey as part of The Rough Riders and while there he finds himself in the midst of a dangerous mission which eventually leads to him also fighting for the heart of a Panamanian Princess.
