Many MilWest members and other Milwaukee fans are familiar
with the works of Bill Wilkerson. Bill was a long term Milwaukee employee
working out of Miles City MT as Fireman and then Engineer. He was also
interested preserving Milwaukee history that he had personal knowledge of. He
did this by writing and annual article for the newspaper in Harlowton MT, which
would later become one of his many books. Many folks are not aware of Bill's
talents as an artist. He produced many, most pen and ink, some color. We have
put on this page some that we have in our collection.
