SynopsisFor two centuries the question has persisted: Was Meriwether Lewis's death a suicide, an accident, or a homicide? By His Own Hand? is the first book to carefully analyze the evidence and consider the murder-versus-suicide debate within its full historical context., For two centuries the question has persisted: Was Meriwether Lewis's death a suicide, an accident, or a homicide? By His Own Hand? is the first book to carefully analyze the evidence and consider the murder-versus-suicide debate within its full historical context. The historian contributors to this volume follow the format of a postmortem court trial, dissecting the case from different perspectives. A documents section permits readers to examine the key written evidence for themselves and reach their own conclusions., Before dawn on October 11, 1809, Meriwether Lewis, coleader of the epic Lewis and Clark Expedition, died from two gunshot wounds. No one witnessed the shooting at a crude inn along the Natchez Trace in Tennessee. But people on the scene shortly afterward concluded that the then-governor of Upper Louisiana had taken his own life. William Clark and Thomas Jefferson agreed. For two centuries the question has persisted: Was Lewis's death a suicide, an accident, or a homicide?
