- History: The following is from the Wikipedia article on Charles Skelton: "Charles Allan 'Skeeter' Skelton (May 1, 1928 – January 17, 1988) was an American lawman and firearms writer. After serving in the US Marine Corps from 1945-46 he began a law enforcement career which included service with the US Border Patrol, a term as Sheriff of Deaf Smith County, Texas, and investigator with both the US Customs Service and Drug Enforcement Administration. After his first nationally published article hit newsstands in September 1959, Skelton began writing part time for firearms periodicals. In 1974 he retired from the DEA and concentrated full time on his writing.
His periodical articles were collected in Good Friends, Good Guns, Good Whiskey: Selected Works of Skeeter Skelton and Hoglegs, Hipshots and Jalapeños : Selected Works of Skeeter Skelton. He was a contemporary of Bill Jordan, Charles Askins and Elmer Keith.
Skelton's work frequently poked fun at himself. His "Me and Joe" stories of his depression era youth, while including references to period firearms, were character oriented rather than technical pieces. His 'Dobe Grant' and 'Jug Johnson' short stories were perhaps the only fiction routinely published by a popular shooting magazine. His son Bart Skelton is also a gun writer."
- Census: 1930, Hereford, Deaf Smith County, Texas; He was recorded while living with his parents.
