Description:The critically acclaimed biography Meriwether Lewis, by Thomas C. Danisi and coauthor John C. Jackson, was praised for its meticulous research and for shedding new light on the adventurous life and controversial death of the great explorer who became famous through the Lewis and Clark expedition. Now, Thomas C. Danisi extends his groundbreaking studies of Meriwether Lewis with this compilation of historical essays, which offers new findings based on recently discovered documents. Danisi, by himself and with coauthors, tackles such intriguing subjects as:• The court martial of Meriwether Lewis—Danisi has discovered the transcript of the entire court martial proceedings, which offer many insights into the still-untested twenty-one-year-old officer.• Documentation that confirms Lewis suffered from incurable malaria for the majority of his life.• Documentation that proves the true nature of the much-discussed Gilbert Russell statement given at the James Wilkinson court martial. Some historians have argued that Wilkinson orchestrated Lewis’s murder, but Danisi’s article shows otherwise.• The role of Major Neelly in Lewis’s last days. This subject has gained much prominence through the History Channel, according to which Neelly supposedly lied to Thomas Jefferson. A Tennessee attorney claims that Neelly was not present at Lewis’s burial, but Danisi has evidence to the contrary. And there is much more material presented that fills in previous historical gaps regarding the mysteries and controversies surrounding Lewis’s life and death. This superb contribution to Meriwether Lewis research is a must-read for students and scholars of American history and anyone with an interest in one of our nation’s most important explorers and public servants.Thomas C.
