“Climbing the Hills and Finding the Rivers” is a manuscript by Marji Smock Stewart and her husband William Stewart. The phrases in the title are the touchstones of life for them, she said; the first part his and the second hers.

It is the story of their lives, written for their family, shared here by me. I sometimes altered the arrangement of the content and edited for length, but the words are theirs.

The family photos are also theirs, but I added them and some others to these posts.
