Before dawn on October 11, 1809, Meriwether Lewis, coleader of the epic Lewis and Clark Expedition, died from two gunshot wounds. No one witnessed the shooting at a crude inn along the Natchez Trace in Tennessee. But people on the scene shortly afterward concluded that the then-governor of Upper Louisiana had taken his own life. William Clark and Thomas Jefferson agreed. For two centuries the question has persisted: Was Lewis's death a suicide, an accident, or a homicide?
