Bill Steigerwald is a Pittsburgh-born author and journalist who worked as an editor and writer/reporter/columnist for the Los Angeles Times in the 1980s, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in the 1990s and the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review in the 2000s. Hundreds of his Q&A interviews and libertarian op-ed columns written for the Pittsburgh Trib were nationally syndicated in the 2000s by CagleCartoons.com.^[1] His free-lance articles and commentaries have appeared in major newspapers in the USA and in magazines like Reason.^[2] In 2009 he retired from daily newspaper work to focus on writing books.^[3] His Dogging Steinbeck: Discovering America and Exposing The Truth About Travels with Charley,^[4] carefully retraced the 10,000-mile road trip around the USA that author John Steinbeck made in 1960 for his nonfiction classic Travels with Charley. Steigerwald's research in libraries and on his own 11,276-mile road trip in 2010 proved that Steinbeck and his editors at The Viking Press had significantly fictionalized the account of his iconic journey.

Steigerwald's 2017 history book 30 Days a Black Man^[5] tells the forgotten story of Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reporter Ray Sprigle's undercover mission into the Jim Crow South in 1948.^[6] Born in 1947, Bill Steigerwald is the oldest member of the Pittsburgh multimedia family that includes his TV sports brothers John Steigerwald (formerly of KDKA-TV) and Paul Steigerwald (former radio and TV play-by-play announcer of the Pittsburgh Penguins) and Dan Steigerwald (aka, Danny Stag, lead guitarist for the hard-rock band Kingdom Come).
