Sad to hear that. I enjoyed and appreciated his input here as well as his books.

Another cowboy gone, I guess.

This is sad to hear I've really enjoyed the two books I got from him and the red dirt elephant billfold I got from him I think will outlast me.

RIP Will

Rest in Peace Bill Stewart. You were one of a kind and I will miss your wise and sometimes curmudgeonly posts here. Will remember you everytime I wear the chinks you sold me when I work cattle.

Now in the far green country, under a swift sunrise.


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Thanks for posting this news - sad to hear. I knew Bill professionally for 35+ years, but didn't realize until a few years ago when I saw his photo in one of his books that he was both the author of African hunting books and the mechanical engineering professor that I knew!

RIP Will. I have his elephant book and his passport wallet. Both excellent.


I meant to be DSC Member...bad typing skills.

Such sad news. I enjoyed knowing and talking to Bill. He was one of a kind. Bill, was a hunter true to himself. I remember Buzz telling the story about the first hunt he booked with Bill. Bill walked up to Buzz and declared, “I don’t walk, I don’t talk, and I don’t tip, do you still want to hunt with me?” One of a kind. Sad day. Rest in peace.

Very sad news. RIP, Bill. I've signed copies of all of his books, and wear an elephant belt and carry an elephant wallet he made, daily. He made my wife a beautiful elephant clutch and wallet a few years ago for an anniversary gift.
