Wagon Train - Terry Wilson - Robert HortonWagon Train - Terry Wilson - Robert HortonBill Hawks was a dependable guy. Big, strong, always there. A good right arm for Major Adams and far more even tempered than the explosive Flint McCullough. The passengers on the train trusted Bill Hawks. We trusted Bill Hawks.

Terry Wilson played Hawks for the entire run of Wagon Train. For eight years he came into our homes and was welcome.Wagon Train - Robert Horton - Terry WilsonWagon Train - Robert Horton - Terry Wilson

From the Claudia Obermiller CollectionBut perhaps what we remember best is the spirited exchanges between Bill Hawks and Charlie Wooster. Bill’s constant exasperation was tempered by a sense of genuine caring for the cook. We loved to watch them interact.Wagon Train - Robert Horton - Terry WilsonTerry Wilson
From the Claudia Obermiller CollectionHawks came from the same hometown as the Major, Galena, Illinois. He has a wife, named Emily, in a couple of episodes. He said once she didn’t like him gambling. But how would she ever know? As much as you had to love the guy, he couldn’t have been much of a husband as he was always joined at the hip with the Major and Charlie.

The wife eventually disappears and the latter seasons depict Bill as a single guy.Terry Wilson
From the Claudia Obermiller CollectionTerry WIlson
From the Claudia Obermiller CollectionTerry Wilson was born on September 3, 1923 in Huntington Park, California. He started as a stuntman and was no stranger to either Ward Bond or Frank McGrath. Long before Wagon Train, they had worked together in films, including John Ford’s legendary, The Searchers. Wilson and McGrath as stuntmen, and Bond as supporting actor.SearchersSo how did Wilson, a stuntman, get onscreen time in the Searchers? Ford used his stuntmen in a wedding dance sequence. This became a big joke on the set. But there he is, next to John Wayne at right, and left, next to Ward Bond.SearchersSadly, we lost Terry Wilson on March 30, 1999. He was living in California with his wife at the time of his passing. But Bill Hawks lives on for all Wagon Train fans.Wagon Train - Robert Horton - Terry WilsonBelow is a partial list of Terry Wilson’s credits in addition to Wagon Train and the Searchers.
