Thunderbolt lore revived from Gloucester reminiscences
An Armidale resident disputes the claim that the man shot at Uralia by Constable Walker was Thunderbolt. The Wingham Chronicle reprints Kyooke’s 20 year old Gloucester history of Frederick Ward born on the Hawkesbury, later Captain Thunderbolt, detailing his early life, horse stealing, outlaw years, marriage to Mary Anne, four daughters, and notable sightings and escapes in the Gloucester and Monkerai districts.
