The murder-versus-suicide debate over the 1809 death of Meriwether Lewis, then governor of Upper Louisiana, is examined in a volume that analyzes the evidence and considers the strengths and weaknesses of each argument within the full historical context.

About the Author

John D. W. Guice, Professor of History, University of Southern Mississippi, and author of the Foreword, says of Everett Dick's The Dixie Frontier, that "persons interested in the American heritage should read it because it is a 'people' book-one about the daily lives of Southern men, women, and children who pushed into the lands beyond the Appalachian Mountains."
