I hate to be one of those readers who say, "I really enjoyed those articles and books by your father" but here I am. As I was growing up and not so very much older than Bart Skelton, I discovered Skeeter in the pages of Shooting Times and Guns & Ammo. What can I say, I'm a shooter. Competitive, recreational, hunter and am fortunate enough to sell firearms to like minded citizens for a part time living. I've missed Skeeter but in this book of "Down On The Border" stories, Bart Skelton has carried on the tradition and made it his own. Interesting and informative short stories about life in the southern border states and what it is to be a lawman and a citizen in that country. Every story is entertaining and filled with the author's memories making you feel like you were almost there at the time. This book holds an honoured place on the first bookshelf right beside Skeeter's and Sally Jim's books. I can only hope he pens another!
