Fiddler’s Green – Henry Skillman and Skillman’s Grove

Body
Every August the Bloys Campmeeting, one of the oldest and last of the old-time religious meetings, will gather at a place named Skillman’s Grove for the 100-plus-year-old meeting. I doubt many of the attendees will be familiar with Henry Skillman, his role in the history of West Texas, and how the location of the Bloys Campmeeting came to be named.
