    "Hell, I was There!" is an excellent book. I've read it at least six times now. Definitely one of my favorites.

    An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it.

    That is one of my favorites.

    Mister Rifleman by Whelen is also good, as is Fireworks by Jeff Cooper.

    I probably learned the most from Hatcher's Notebook.

    I love wildcats, so it is really hard to beat P.O Ackley's books as well as Wildcat Cartridges and Pet Loads from Ken Waters. Not a classic, but Fred Ziegan's Wildcat Cartridges is a great read for anyone interested in cartridge design

    Skeeter Skelton and Elmer Keith are two of my favorites, but so are Jeff Cooper and Patrick F McManus.

    Skeeter Skeltons books are as rare as honest poloticians.
    I have all of Elmer's and Jack O'Connors.
