  • Route of Meriwether Lewis from Harpers Ferry, Va. to Pittsburgh, Pa
    Route of Meriwether Lewis from Harpers Ferry, Va. to Pittsburgh, Pa. July 8 – July 15, 1803 by David T. Gilbert National Park Service Harpers Ferry, West Virginia May 5, 2003 (Revised September 28, 2015) Introduction The route which Meriwether Lewis traveled from Harpers Ferry, Virginia to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, between July 8 and July 15, 1803, has not been well documented 1. The only primary source we have is a letter Lewis penned to President Jefferson from Harpers Ferry on July 8, 1803: I shall set out myself in the course of an hour, taking the route of Charlestown, Frankfort, Uniontown and Redstone old fort to Pittsburgh, at which place I shall most probably arrive on the 15th.2 Route of Meriwether Lewis July 8-July 15, 1803 Pittsburgh R Elizabeth E V I Petersons R Brownsville Pennsylvania O I H (Redstone old fort) O Uniontown Farmington POT OMA Cumberland C R IV Grantsville E M R O Maryland Forks of N Cacapon Harpers O N Fort Ashby Ferry G Brucetown A (Frankfort) H E Gainesboro L A Winchester R I West Virginia V Charles Town E R Virginia 1. With the exception of quoted primary sources, this document uses the contemporary spelling, Harpers Ferry, and not the 19th century spelling, Harper’s Ferry. Harpers Ferry was part of Virginia until June 20, 1863, when the state of West Virginia was created by Presidential Proclamation. 2.

  • HISTORY COMMENTARY Self-Destruction on the Natchez Trace: Meriwether Lewis's Act of Ultimate Courage by Reimert Thorolf Ravenholt
    WashingtonHistory.org HISTORY COMMENTARY Self-Destruction on the Natchez Trace: Meriwether Lewis's Act of Ultimate Courage By Reimert Thorolf Ravenholt COLUMBIA The Magazine of Northwest History, Summer 1999: Vol. 13, No. 2 In his comprehensive biography, Meriwether Lewis, Richard Dillon in 1965 detailed the extraordinary behavior of Lewis during his last days, enabling me to provide a scientific solution (Epidemiology, May 1994) to the 184-year mystery concerning the underlying cause of his untimely death on the Natchez Trace in Tennessee on October 11, 1809. The nature of Lewis's death was so bizarre that Dillon and many others have persistently refused to believe that Lewis committed suicide, despite incontrovertible evidence that he did. According to James Neely and Alexander Wilson, three persons—Mrs. Robert Grinder, keeper of Grinder's Stand; John Pernia, trusted servant of Lewis; and Neely's servant—were eye-witnesses to his death and reported that Lewis spoke to them as he lay dying at dawn. When Pernia came up from the barn, Lewis said, "I have done the business, my good servant. Give me some water." He also begged them to take his rifle and blow out his brains. And his last words, just as the sun tinged the treetops, were, "I am no coward, but I am so strong. It is hard to die." Major James Neely, Lewis's traveling companion, who had remained behind at Dogwood Mudhole the previous morning to find two strayed horses, arrived at Grinder's Stand within hours of Lewis's death and had ample opportunity to question each witness and examine the mortal wounds before burying the body.

  • Telling the Story: Changing Perceptions of the Lewis and Clark Journals
    TELLING THE STORY: CHANGING PERCEPTIONS OF THE LEWIS AND CLARK JOURNALS by Deborah Malony Dukes A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Social Science Emphasis: Teaching American History May 2006 TELLING THE STORY: CHANGING PERCEPTIONS OF THE LEWIS AND CLARK JOURNALS by Deborah Malony Dukes Approved by the Master’s Thesis Committee: Delores McBroome, Major Professor Date Gayle Olson-Raymer, Committee Member Date Rodney Sievers, Committee Member Date Delores McBroome, Graduate Coordinator Date Donna E. Schafer, Dean for Research and Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT The collective journals of the Lewis and Clark expedition have been objects of fascination and interpretation ever since the Corps of Discovery’s homecoming in 1806. Despite President Thomas Jefferson’s direction that Meriwether Lewis prepare the journals for publication, Lewis’ untimely death in 1809 left the editing of the expedition’s records – and much of the storytelling – to a series of writers and editors of varying interests, abilities and degrees of integrity. Understandably the several major editions and many other versions of the story have reflected the lives and times of the editors. For instance, ornithologist Elliott Coues was the first – 89 years after the fact – to acknowledge the expedition’s many scientific and ethnological observations. For their own purposes, successive generations of activists have appropriated iconic expedition members, emphasized or even invented anecdotes, and supposed discoveries. Scholarly and public interest in the journals has peaked during this bicentennial period, as often happens around the times of major anniversaries of the expedition.

  • Meriwether Lewis on the Ohio
    Meriwether Lewis on the Ohio The extension of the Lewis and Clark Trail from St. Louis all the way to Pittsburgh is an invitation for all of us to reboot our understanding of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The late Stephen Ambrose deserves credit for giving ample space to the Ohio River portion of the transcontinental journey in Undaunted Courage and for penning a sentence that has been much reproduced in Lewis and Clark literature, especially by those who wish to bring greater prominence to the Eastern Legacy: “When they shook hands, the Lewis and Clark Expedition began.”1 In most editions of the journals, the expedition begins at St. Charles, Missouri, on May 14, 1804. This is true of Bernard DeVoto’s influential 1953 edition of The Journals of Lewis and Clark, Elliott Coues’ The History of the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1893), John Bakeless’ The Journals of Lewis and Clark (1964), and Frank Bergon’s The Journals of Lewis and Clark (1989). St. Charles is also the starting point in Gary Moulton’s one-volume digest, The Lewis and Clark Journals: An American Epic of Discovery (2003), and his more recent narrative, The Lewis and Clark Expedition: Day by Day (2018). Historians have been more willing than editors (who are always fighting page length) to discuss the Ohio River journey as part of their over-arching narrative of the expedition.
