As some of you who were there may recall, Scott Wolter (and diving compansions) drove  over to  speak two evemimgs in a row at an Ancient Waterways Society 3 or 4 night gathering I set up at an inexpensive resort (cabins) on Lake Superior near  Copper Harbor, Michigan in 2008. Seven or eight others from tis group also gave talks, we cooked famiy style meals and kept things very low cost. 

For those, as I, who do not subscribe to H2/ Histiry Channel2, here  is  America Unearthed,-The Desert Cross,   from an Arizona setting.  Some  here might enjoy the geology.  Since tjis link comes va the Histiry Channel, free, it contains a few 30  second ads i did not know how to bypass.

Good points it is always good to have someone who knows the law.  Still, I had never heard that Merriweather Lewis had committed suicide by shooting himself "twice".  

The fellow who led the expedition up the Red River or Arkansas while Lewis and Clark were going up the Missouri had lots of shady characters working for him and was also accused of high treason.   Maybe Lewis had evidence that were in the missing pages of in his diary.  

Anybody know if Clark wrote anything about the death of Lewis on the Natchez Trace?

I had hoped you would have some insights on this, Rick, thanks!

 

I will add my 2 cents also and say that, as a real estate lawyer, I found the argument that the act of the Welsh making a land claim would somehow invalidate U.S. legal title to the Louisiana Purchase lands to be totally unfounded. It is simply wrong—the treaty signed with the British after the Revolutionary War made clear that our claims vis a vis Britain (including Wales) were valid. Having said that, I do recognize that there may have been political/cultural/religious reasons, especially with the specter of renewed hostilities with the British (the War of 1812) looming, to call into question whether our pioneers were the first Europeans to explore these lands. This climate could have been tied to Lewis’s death. The episode raised some interesting questions, but I thought the answers it supplied to those questions were flawed.

Scott's "expert" failed him on the research of Coelbren. There are at
least 2 "dark ages" engraved stones using that alphabet. Oddly, one of
them mentions Artorius Rex - a Latinized Brut name written in Colbren.

I don't know if this episode furthers the death nail on the Brandenburg
Stone in KY, which is stated to be an early 1800's hoax according to one
of the H2 investigators....

suicide (or possible murder). Thanks for the reply, Karla.
