He won a Pulitzer Prize in 1917 for editorials demanding the United States enter World War I. He attracted controversy for attempting to prove that Christopher Marlowe had actually written the works of Shakespeare. He supported the Democratic Party and pushed for the industrialization of Kentucky and the South in general, notably through urging the Southern Exposition be held in Louisville. He became nationally known for his work as the Courier-Journal emerged as the region's leading paper. Henry Watterson, the son of a Tennessee congressman, had written for Harper's Magazine and the New York Times before enlisting in the Confederate Army. During secret negotiations in 1868, The Journal and the Courier merged and the first edition of The Courier-Journal was delivered to Louisvillians on Sunday morning, 8 November, 1868. In 1868, an ailing Prentice persuaded the 28-year-old Henry Waterson to come edit to the Journal.

The Louisville Daily Journal and the Louisville Morning Courier were the news leaders in Louisville and were politically opposed throughout the Civil War The Journal was against slavery while the Courier was pro-Confederacy. In 1844, another newspaper, the Louisville Morning Courier was founded in Louisville by Walter N. Prentice would edit the Journal for more than 40 years. Prentice, a New Englander who initially came to Kentucky to write a biography of Henry Clay. The Journal was an organ of the Whig Party, founded and edited by George D. In 1830 a new newspaper, The Louisville Daily Journal, began distribution in the city and, in 1832, absorbed The Focus of Politics, Commerce and Literature.

Lewis says many of the people living in tents at his property or elsewhere in the city refuse to go to traditional homeless shelters as they are not a good “fit” for them or they feel unsafe there. The law enforcement visit clearly troubled Lewis enough that by Friday he announced the camp's closure in 10 days, displacing people yet again. In regard to prostitution, Lewis acknowledged in a Facebook post that residents told him “some women will occasionally sell sexual services.” He also believed it was possible that one woman was trafficking other women, and she has since left the camp.
