Oasis Presents: Meriwether Lewis, commander of the famed Lewis and Clark Expedition that explored the newly purchased Louisiana Territory from 1803-06, returned home from this perilous journey with every hope (as well as his country’s expectations) of a bright and productive future. Yet within three years, the 35- year-old Lewis was dead in a lonely inn along the Natchez Trace in rural Tennessee, the victim of two gunshots. This lecture by Drs. Dave and Marti Peck, based on their new book of the same title, will help shed light on the mysterious historical fate of this American icon. This event is free and open to the public, and there is no need to pre-register. Audience: Recommended for adults.
