By his own hand?

by John D. W. Guice

Cover of By his own hand?

"For two centuries, the question has persisted: Was Meriwether Lewis's death a suicide, an accident, or a homicide? Plausible cases for conspiracy and murder have been made - and too quickly dismissed by historians. By His Own Hand? is the first book to subject the evidence to careful analysis and consider the murder-versus-suicide debate within its full historical context."--Jacket.
