Time magazine, 1992. It is a case that still has historians baffled. In 1809, three years after Lewis and Clark's exploration of the Pacific Northwest, Meriwether Lewis was governor of the Louisiana Territory, an area rife with unrest: restless and hostile Native American tribes, European spies, American infighting. On his way to Washington to meet President Madison and discuss the new frontier's dilemma, Lewis died violently at a rustic inn outside Nashville. Suicide was the general consensus, but questions remain a year later when Lewis's old friend, ornithologist Alexander Wilson, arrives at the inn, along with young Harrison Hull, an explorer and United States Army captain. Determined to solve the crime and find the killer, they un- cover a maze of treachery, deceit, and law- lessness. Ron Burns, author of Roman Nights and Roman Shadows, has written an unforgettable, fascinating, fact-based mystery rich with historical drama and detail. inventory #22686.…

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Near Fine. First Edition. First edition, August 1993, so stated, with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, small crease, couple of nicks, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. "Using fiction to examine real-life questions surrounding the 1809 death of the noted politician and explorer (one-half of Lewis & Clark), Burns ( Roman Nights ) comes up with a plausible solution to the mystery of what one character describes as "the only two-shot suicide in history." Lewis, governor of the Territory of Upper Louisiana, supposedly killed himself in Grinder's Stand, Tenn., but two of his friends, naturalists Harrison Hull and Alexander Wilson, are convinced that he was murdered and set out to prove it. In Grinder's Stand they hear new accounts of Lewis's death that support their hunch. When they reach the territorial capital of St. Louis, they discover that men who know too much about their friend's past are likely to end up dead themselves. Among the historical suspects the author fingers are Frederick Bates, Lewis's power-hungry successor to the office of governor, and General James Wilkinson, an associate of Aaron Burr. Intricate layers of wrongdoing in the period's wide-open fur trade provide a possible motive. This elegant, slim mystery satisfies modern expectations of conspiracy in the highest places of power." -- Publishers Weekly. Book.…
