"Hunter Thompson, Duke Rice, Norman Peekman and Henry Eikelberger went up to the Voits and asked them if they were for the North or South. The Voits said they were for the North. Then Franklin Scroggins started a fight. Then the Voits declared war on Hunter's gang on October 1, 1947. Hunter and several boys were hit by rocks thrown by the Voits and Scroggins. The main battle field was the street and the Voit side yard."

Two boys got out, and one asked Monin for a cigarette. When Monin held out a package of cigarettes, one of the boys grabbed it out of his hand and reached inside the car and took the keys from the ignition. Another boy approached and held his hand in his pocket as if he had a gun. The boys then forced Monin to give them his billfold. They took $8 from it and threw it down. The three drove off as another automobile approached. Monin noted the license number of the car and reported the robbery to police. Police arrested Steenrod as he drove alone in St. Matthews. Learning the names of the two other youths, police arrested them at their homes."

Youth Fined in Scrape Halting his Graduation; 6/12/55

"Male Principal W.S. Milburn said he placed Stallings and Thompson under 'indefinite suspension pending their re-entry through the superintendent's office.'"

Youth Ordered Jailed for 60 Days Pending Action in Robbery Case; 6/16/55

"Attorney Haddad pleaded that Thompson be given extra time so that he might fulfill his desire to get into the Air Force. Jull agreed to withhold final decision for 60 days, but said he would hold the youth in jail during the 60-day period. 'Please don't send him to jail,' the mother tearfully begged. 'What do you want me to do - give him a medal?' Judge Jull retorted in exasperation."

Tearful Youth Is Jailed Amid Barrage of Pleas; 6/16/55

"When Jull ordered Thompson taken to jail, he explained to those in the courtroom that a juvenile could not make bond. And if anyone attempts to bail Thompson out when he becomes 18 on July 18, Jull said, Juvenile Court will order him brought before the court immediately for final disposition of his case."

"As an aftermath of the case, Male and Girls High School refused to give final exams to Stallings and Thompson."

'Doing Better' Youth Given His Freedom; 8/18/55

"'You are not on probation,' Judge Jull told Hunter S. Thompson, 2437 Ransdell, 'but you will be watched.'"

"Judge Jull a few days later ordered Thompson to jail and released him after 30 days. Since then the boy has been working steadily and court officials felt that he has made progress in 'mending his ways.'"

It's Tough For A Dog To Have A Globetrotter For A Master; 1/3/62

"Since he bought Agar, Thompson has acquired a sort of 'family' responsibility, but they are both born rovers....fun in the Rockies....careful expeditions in the deserts and in the Sierra Madre...loafing in the sun on the Monterey Peninsula."

Double Play: A New Kentucky Author is making his debut with a double bang.; 1/5/67

Maurer, David W 'Hell's Angels': Rejects of Society Who Live For Violence and Kicks; 2/3/67

"The author did a thorough job of penetrating a tough subculture which accepts few outsiders, and gives a basically fair, honest account of the life he finds there. It is good sociology, written in a style that few sociologists ever master. An experienced, sophisticated writer for one so young, Thompson demonstrates a profound understanding of the drives, social and psychological, which motivate these mixed-up misfits who have it in for the square world - and everyone in it."

Ripley, Anthony Campaign for anti-Establishment sheriff is snowballing; 10/18/70

"...it is becoming clear that Hunter Thompson's bizarre campaign, probably the most bizarre on the American scene today, may well make him the next sheriff of Pitkin County."

Ex-Louisvillian Loses Colorado Sheriff Race; 11/4/70 and 11/5/70

"Thompson conceded defeat to incumbent Carroll Whitmore after unofficial totals showed Whitmore leading 1,523 to 1,068."

"After it was over, Thompson said he was through with 'politics of the vote' adding, 'If we can't win in Aspen, we can't win anywhere."

Cox, Bill Rolling Stone's fearless, far out political reporter; 12/17/72

"Thompson once described a Washington Post reporter as a 'human pencil.' Thompson himself might be accurately compared to one of those $700 electric typewriters that sit quietly until you accidentally rest the side of your hand on the 'return' and 'backspace' keys at the same time, setting off a frenzy of clacking and whirring to wake the dead."

"But Thompson has had to take his lumps. The Hell's Angels turned on him and beat him up, almost killing him. Muskie only took away his press pass."

Filiatreau, John Who is Raoul Duke?; 10/23/75

"Most journalists only talk about objectivity, but Dr. Duke grabs it straight by the _______ throat."

Christensen, John On The Trail Of The Outlaw Journalist; 1/22/77

"His public appearances - currently his chief source of income - have been disastrous. Thompson often shows up drunk, weaving, spaced out, stones, incoherent and illogical."

"The domestic tranquility depends on Thompson's small, blonde wife, Sandy. 'She's magnificent,' said the admiring mother-in-law. 'She makes his appointments, cancels them, takes messages, pays the bills, cooks the meals, keeps house, lies for him, does whatever is necessary. She's a fantastic person. God knows, anybody who could live with Hunter for 14 years has to be superhuman.'"

"I spent most of my life waiting up nights for Hunter to come home." - Virginia Thompson

Filiatreau, John Gonzo journalism: Fun of a sort; 8/26/79

"He can get away with his outrageousness because his personal savageries are always in full view, and he doesn't ask to be taken seriously."

Reid, Ford Journalist brings his audacity to UK stage; 9/20/80

"For a 43-year-old man who has made a career of abusing drugs, flaunting his distaste for much of what is held sacred by society and living on the dangerous and ragged edge of sanity, Hunter Thompson looks remarkably healthy. He looks, in fact, disarmingly normal."

"'I'm doing this (a speaking tour) for the money,' he said. 'It honestly puzzles me and embarrasses me. When you grow up in Kentucky wanting to be a writer, this is not exactly the end you had in mind.'"

"If you think I'll tell you the truth, you're fools." - HST

"But the students loved Thompson, and he was loving being loved. He didn't look like he wanted it to end, and it didn't until every autograph request had been filled."

Elson, Martha Alums Recall Castlewood Athletic Club Days; 5/29/91, p. 1-N

"Among those attending - including many prominent Louisville businessmen and professionals - was journalist Hunter S. Thompson, who, perhaps in tribute to the old days of the club, wore a plaid short-sleeved shirt and sports coat. (A 1943 newspaper story about the club said members wore the same kind of clothes and picked up on the same fads - 'this year's being loud, plaid shirts.')"

Simmons, Ira Waxing Nostalgic; Hunter Thompson Reflects on His Boyhood; 5/25/91, p. 9A

"'It's a very emotional thing with me,' Thompson said at the reunion. 'When we were growing up, we didn't know what bonding was - but that's what it was. We were a gang, a damn good gang - and we still are.'"

"...I've never lost the Castlewood spirit. Always carried it with me."

"Victory or death - that's how we felt. It's sad today that young people have no sense of victory - in politics or anything else."
