His Father died when he was young and after that Lewis would become depressed for no reasons randomly at different times.
Meriwether Lewis and William Clark led the epidition, but some say that Lewis was the main leader.
No What about C.S. Lewis, or Allie Lewis, or Meriwether Lewis or some other guy named Lewis lol?...COME ON GUYS! Lewis is like Smith! IT'S EVERYWHERE!!!
Meriwether Lewis had a Newfoundland dog named Seaman. Lewis purchased him for some $20 from a riverboat captain who had won him and his mother playing cards. Seaman (or Scannon) accompanied Lewis all the way to the Pacific Ocean and returned with him to St. Louis.
Meriwether Lewis had numerous friends and associates throughout his life, but some key individuals included William Clark, Thomas Jefferson, and William Dunbar. William Clark was particularly close to Lewis, as they co-led the famous Lewis and Clark Expedition.
Meriwether Lewis died from gunshot wounds, but there is some historical debate over whether his death was a result of murder or suicide. He was buried near where he died in present-day Tennessee.
Historical information doesn’t know. There are suspects, but no real proof of who murdered him.
Meriwether Lewis (of the Lewis and Clark expedition) was 35 when he died in 1809. Meriwether Lewis was serving as governor of Missouri Territory in 1809 and on the way to Washington DC to defend himself against some political accusations. He was at a roadside inn in Grinder's Stand (Hohenwald) Tennessee, just south of Nashville and was found with two gunshot wounds suffered the night of October 10. He died the next morning on October 11, 1809. The shooting was called a suicide, but he is now believed to have been murdered.
Lewis' dog, of the Lewis and Clark expedition, was of the Newfoundland breed. Historians differ on whether the dog was named "Seaman" or "Scannon", depending on how you read Lewis' writing. Lewis purchased him for some $20 from a riverboat captain who had won him and his mother playing cards.
I have seen "Merry" and "Meri" in some novels, but I'm not sure about where they came from. The terribly inaccurate Lewis biography by Charles Morrow Wilson uses the strange yet undocumented "Merne".

It is believed he took his own life at a place called Grinder's stand. He allegedly committed suicide with a firearm of some sort. But some feel it was foul play.
