From the Back Cover:
Couriers, spies, and treachery abound during the American Revolution and the period that followed. Meriwether Lewis and his father served as soldiers and couriers during this period in American history. Long before he set out on his famous exploration of the American West with William Clark, Meriwether Lewis served as a soldier in the Virginia Militia, called up by President Washington to quell the Whiskey Rebellion. He then went on to serve in the regular army in the newly formed Northwest Territory. It was a time when the second in command of the army was a paid spy for the Spanish. A time when the new territories struggled with Indian wars, corrupt and self-serving political leaders as well as patriots struggling maintain the new republic. It was a time when individuals dedicated their lives to the new republic. It was also a time when land hungry greed thrived. When self-serving individuals plotted to subvert the new republic, and even establish their private fiefdoms, separate from the republic.
