	Encyclopedia of Arda: The Angle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Stoors were a branch of the race of Hobbits, who crossed the Misty Mountains westward into Eriador during the middle years of the Third Age.
		They were said to have emerged from the Redhorn Pass in about the year III 1150, and from there they spread out across the wide lands, settling along their favoured riverways as far south as Tharbad and the Dunland borders.
		The Stoors only remained in the Angle for some two hundred years before they moved on again, but at this point their kind divided.

	The Grey Havens - Hobbits: Was Gollum a hobbit?
		Gandalf's opinion alone: "I guess they were of hobbit-kind; akin to the fathers of the fathers of the Stoors" (The Fellowship of the Ring, 62) should be sufficient to settle this, but it is confirmed in several other places.
		Since it was explained in the Prologue that Stoors were one of the three branches of hobbits (The Fellowship of the Ring, 12), it is clear that the compiler of this entry, evidently either Merry and/or Pippin's heirs (The Fellowship of the Ring, 24-25), accepted this conclusion.
		In "The Hunt for the Ring" (Unfinished Tales, Three, IV) it is told that Sauron concluded from his interrogation of Gollum that Bilbo must have been the same sort of creature (Unfinished Tales, 342) (indeed, Gandalf concluded the same thing from his talks with Bilbo (The Fellowship of the Ring, 63)).

		The Stoors of Dunland migrated to the Shire around 1630 and settled mostly in the Eastfarthing and the Southfarthing.

		The Stoors were in some ways the hardiest and most frontier-like among hobbits, for it was long before they found a safe home.
		From there the Stoors passed northward to a land called the Angle between the rivers Mitheithel and Bruinen, or they passed west and south to the borders of Dunland.
		The Stoors of the Angle were of two minds: some migrated south to join their kinsfolk in Dunland, but some decided to pass back over the Misty Mountains to the Vales of Anduin.

		Suddenly the Stoors found themselves living under the rule of a hill-lord who was not as benevolent and friendly as the Dunadan kings had been, and he was allied with the Witch-king of the north.
		The Stoors, on the other hand, may have actually become the largest population for a while, even though they were now far separated from the Harfoots and Fallohides.
		But the fact the Stoors accepted the marshlands of Eastfarthing implies that the lands were not inhospitable, as well as that the folklands must already have been claimed.

	Encyclopedia: Stoor
		J. Tolkien in 1972, in his study at Merton Street (from by H. Carpenter) John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (January 3, 1892 â€“ September 2, 1973) was the author of The Hobbit and its sequel The Lord of the Rings.
		In J. Tolkiens fictional Middle-earth, the Anduin or Great River of Wilderland is the longest river in the Third Age (the original Sindarin name means Long River), rising east of the Misty Mountains and flowing south through Wilderland and eastern Gondor.
		DÃ©agol, from J. Tolkiens fantasy universe of Middle-earth, was the Stoor Hobbit who had found the One Ring while diving in the Gladden river (a tributary to the Anduin) with his cousin SmÃ©agol.

		Some Stoors went to the Angle south of Rivendell and mingled with the Harfoots and Fallohides that lived there, but most setled in the Swanfleet near Tharbad, which most resembled their old lands.
		After 1300 when Angmar began to threathen Eriador, many Stoors fled south to their kin in Dunland, where they became a woodland people.
		Some few returned to the vale of Anduin and restteled the Gladden Fields, becoming the riverland people Déagol and Sméagol-Gollum belonged to.

		They were considered the most adventurous among the Hobbits, and although the Fallohides mingled with the other strains after entering Eriador, the hobbits with a strong fallohidish strain in them were often seen as chieftains of other clans of Hobbits by virtue of their leadership qualities.
		It is said the Stoors were well versed in the art of boating, swimming and fishing - things normally considered very un-Hobbit-like.
		The Stoors were considered the most mannish among the different kinds of Hobbits, and they were on friendly terms with men.

		Some of the Stoors had lived there since their ancestors crossed the Misty Mountains around TA 1150, but others had migrated south from Rhudaur in 1300 when Angmar first rose in the north.
		The Stoors of Dunland don't seem to have had much interaction with the Harfoots and Fallohides of Arthedain, but there was some communication as many Stoors migrated north when the Shire was founded by Marcho and Blanco in 1601.
		But perhaps the Stoors were influenced by their ancient habits of consorting with Men and thus were drawn toward Bree.

		The Stoors had an affinity for water, boats and swimming; the Fallohides were an adventurous people.
		Some time near the beginning of the Third Age, they undertook, for reasons unknown, but possibly having to do with Mordor's power, the arduous task of crossing the Misty Mountains.
		Some of the Stoors, however, stayed behind, and it is from these people that Gollum would come many years later.

		The rest of the Stoors settled in Dunland, south of the Cardolan border.
		It is probably not a coincidence that Hobbit families descended from the Stoors of Dunland have "Celtic" names, whereas Hobbit families descended from the northern groups have "Germanic" names.
		It was from the former language of the southern Stoors, no doubt, that they inherited many of their very odd names.

		On the other hand, the Stoors of Gladden Fields settled very near the banks of the Anduin, which was their main source of food (fish).

		As Gandalf implies, it was the inherent hardiness of hobbits and their relations that allowed Gollum to survive the possesion of the ring for so long (look at what happened to the Ringwraiths, in comparison).
		Stoors had much flatter hands and feet than other "breeds" of hobbits, which would explain Gollum using them as paddles in "Riddles in the Dark".
		Gollum is related to the Hobbit family, I think he actually originated from hobbits, the Stoors I think it was, who never passed over the Mountains to the West of Middle Earth.

		Although we don't know when the Stoors of the Gladden River moved or died out, they seem to have been long gone by this time.
		The Harfoots may have lived in the lands east of Anduin between the Old Forest Road and the Gladden River, roughly the western region of the lands later possessed by the Beornings.
		Around the same time the Stoors left the Gladden River and passed SOUTH to the region of Khazad-dum and Lothlorien, and they crossed the mountains via the Redhorn Pass, entering Dunland.

		The Stoors were the water-loving Hobbits and they also got along better with the Dwarves than others, whereas the Harfoots got along better with Men.
		Perhaps by the middle of the Second Age the Stoors were living close to the Anduin.
		But what is certain is that the Stoors were the most southern branch of the Hobbits, and they probably had developed a trading relationship with the Dwarves of Khazad-dum before crossing the Redhorn Pass.

		The Stoors were the last of the Hobbits to enter Eriador.
		The most Mannish of their race, they were bulkier than other strains and, to the amazement of their kin, some could actually grow beards.
		It is said that Stoors did not begin their western migration until the year 1300, when many passed over the Redhorn Pass; yet small settlements remained in such areas as the Gladden Fields as many as twelve centuries later.

		Before the crossing of the mountains the Hobbits had already become divided into three somewhat different breeds, or "races": Harfoots, Stoors, and Fallohides.
		The Stoors lingered long by the banks of the Great River Anduin, and were less shy of Men.
		They came west after the Harfoots and followed the course of the Loudwater southwards; and there many of them long dwelt between Tharbad and the borders of Dunland before they moved north again.

	White Council archive \| Re: What is Gollum exactly \| Tolkien and the Inklings discussion
		Gollum's people were probably descended from the Stoors of the Angle who crossed the Misty Mountains via the High Pass back into the Vales of Anduin (but that is by no means certain -- it could also be that some Stoors had remained behind).
		The chief difference between the Hobbits of the Shire, Buckland, and Bree and the Stoors of the Vales of Anduin was that the western groups had -- by the end of the Third Age -- become very intermingled.
		The Shire was originally colonized by Fallohides and Harfoots and then joined about 30 years later by the Stoors (and, presumably, there was a constant influx throughout the first 36 years, although the heaviest colonization may have occurred within the first few years).
