Holmberg, Jay H. Buckley, Elliott West, Clay S. Jenkinson University of Oklahoma Press, 2006. Dust jacket. $24.95 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? By His Own Hand? is the first book to 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. Clay S. Jenkinson outlines the facts and describes the evidentiary problems. James J. Holmberg makes the case for suicide. John D. W. Guice dissects the suicide argument. * Denotes Southwest Books of the Year 2006 selection SOLD Allen, John Logan.
