When Spirits Walk

Book Cover & Preview Text
On an October night nearly 200 years ago, an incident happened that causes debate among historians to this day. Two shots rang out under a black velvet Tennessee sky. The echoes reverberated in the dark forest surrounding the Natchez Trace. Mrs. Grinder, who ran an inn for weary travelers, was frightened by the sound of the shots and the cries of a wounded man. She waited with alarm and fear throughout the night. When she ventured outside in the morning, she discovered Meriwether Lewis, the governor of the Louisiana Territory and famous American explorer. His wounds were fatal. Was his death the result of suicide, or was he murdered? Perhaps his ghost is still trying to clear his good name.
