William J Harris

A Lifetime Written in Rivers, Mountains, and Memory

A Life Remembered Through Risk, Reflection, and Redemption

This book is not a highlight reel; it's a life laid bare.

My Walk on the Wild Side explores the deeply personal moments behind a lifetime of adventure. Some stories are humorous. Others are uncomfortable. Many are unexpected. They reveal how the wild doesn't just test skill, it reveals character.

This collection moves effortlessly between:

• • Outdoor experiences that shaped identity
• • Personal turning points and hard-earned wisdom
• • The quiet aftermath of survival and choice

It's a book for readers who understand that growth often happens far from safety and that the wild side isn't always a place, but a state of mind.

True Stories Drawn from Seventy Years Outdoors

This collection is a tribute to persistence.

In Trials, Tribulations and Triumphs, William J. Harris distills decades of hunting and fishing into short, unforgettable stories each rooted in real events, real risk, and real emotion.

Readers will encounter:

• • Hunts that didn't go as planned
• • Battles against weather, terrain, and chance
• • Moments where humor saved the day
• • Triumphs earned through patience rather than luck

These stories don't glorify conquest. They honor endurance, humility, and respect for the natural world.
