Lewis, is the most fascinating member of the expedition, the
leader, but also probably the most complex. A man fraught with with
serious emotional problems but also a man of of great character, great
integrity, truly marvelous insightful leadership. But a man who
continually was on the edge of falling off of the abyss of of good sane
control, I feel, as we watch him. And we know in later life, in fact,
that’s that’s what happened to him with his apparent suicide. Lewis,
Lewis was the man, who was, it seems to read the journals, never
entirely easy with with his own men and definitely not with the with the
Indians that he was meeting.
