Summary "The Sky Sheriff: The Pioneer Spirit Lives Again in the Texas Airplane Patrol" by Thomson Burtis is a fictional adventure story published in the early 1920s. The narrative takes place in Texas and revolves around the courageous exploits of a sheriff and his crew as they patrol the Texas-Mexico border using aircraft, showcasing their pioneering spirit. The book likely explores themes of bravery, camaraderie, and the challenges faced in this unique environment. The story follows Sheriff Bill Trowbridge and a group of young flyers, including a recent recruit named Sleepy Spears. They find themselves in a tense situation when a criminal named Cal Buchanan, recently released from jail, plots to rob an old friend of Trowbridge, George Bilney. After a robbery goes awry, resulting in Bilney being shot and left for dead and his daughter, Judith, bound and gagged, Trowbridge and Sleepy take to the skies in pursuit of Buchanan. The chase is thrilling, highlighting the contrast between the old Wild West lawman and the new age of aviation, culminating in an intense confrontation as they seek to bring the criminal to justice and protect Judith and her father.
