Hmmm..
There is an author by the name of Guillermo Hillcoat mentioned on this
page:
http://www.iadb.org/intal/ingles/publicaciones/i-trabserie.htm
That's a publication on commercial farming and fairly recent, it seems.
I don't think this is the Hillcoat of your statue.
Ah ha...Don, I found where you posted a query to a Help Wanted
Genealogy site. Did you not get any responses?
I digress...another site found that mentions Guillermo Hillcoat - a
french site written in Spanish. Seems to be a discussion on a book he
co-authored. I don't believe that site has much on Hillcoat, himself.

I am afraid that is the only G. Hillcoat de Argentina I could find.
