Praise for Uncovering the Truth about Meriwether Lewis
“Informative and fascinating reading. Thomas Danisi's research is impressive. He is to be congratulated for bringing to light so much hitherto unknown Lewis material.”
—James J. Holmberg, curator of manuscripts,
the Filson Historical Society, Louisville, Kentucky
“Danisi's skillfully substantiated insights will be the basis for all future study of Meriwether Lewis's life and times. Includes a treasure trove of original documents, many never before presented to the public.”
—Glen Lindeman, retired editor-in-chief of Washington State University Press
and editor of Martin Plamondon's Lewis & Clark Trail Maps (3 vols.)
and Alan H. Hartley's Lewis & Clark: Lexicon of Discovery
“Thomas C. Danisi's research is both wide-ranging and deep, much of it in hitherto overlooked sources. The result is a wealth of new information about a major figure in American history.”

University of Nevada, Reno,
