Bill Ackerman is the elderly mayor of Coyote Bluff in 2281.

Background
Bill Ackerman was born in 2209. He spent most of his early life tending crops on a sharecropper farm that grew mostly maize and potatoes. In 2229, a drought made the land unworkable and Bill sought economic relief from the drought by going to work as a caravaeer. He worked for nearly two decades behind a desk filling out reams of paper work until he was trained to be a caravan driver in 2251. He constantly drove for other caravans, but always had Bessie Lou, his loyal pet brahmin.

He remained a caravan driver well into his sixties. In 2275, the caravan he was driving at the time (which consisted of "Texas" Calhoun, Cole Masters, Kate Parker and Derrick Payne) stumbled across the burned down Coyote Bluff, where he helped pass out food and supplies along with Kate. Coyote Bluff's mayor was killed during the raid, so the townspeople asked Calhoun if he would be their new mayor, since he was such a large help in patching up their wounded. He declined, but suggested Bill for the position to which Bill graciously accepted.
