  5. Clark likewise reported that Lewis had bouts with euphoria and depression prior to his death, had become deeply in debt, drank heavily and possibly used opium–all symptoms of bipolar disorder. When Lewis’s integrity was questioned over billing as a result of his time as Governor of Louisiana, he left St. Louis deeply troubled and attempted suicide on the boat ride south. A few days later, October 9, 1809, at a small inn on the Natchez Trace southwest of Nashville, Lewis apparently shot himself in despair.

    It should be noted, however, that there is the possibility that Lewis suffered from malaria, a disease that is known, in its later stages, to cause forms of dementia and erratic behavior. Whether from depression or malaria, Lewis’s death at so young an age was a tragedy of the first order. It also caused him to be relatively forgotten by the public at large until the end of the 19th century, when historians and the public again looked at the remarkable achievements of the Corps of Discovery, its Captains, and especially Meriwether Lewis himself.
