Now gracing bookstores comes MERIWETHER, the latest
in David Nevin's ambitious series of historical novels.
The series which he calls THE AMERICAN STORY 1800-1860
brings to immediate vivid life the fixing of American popular
democracy and the forming of the continental nation.
MERIWETHER, fifth after TREASON, DREAM
WEST, 1812 and EAGLE'S CRY tis the story of Meriwether
Lewis and William Clark and their magnificent expedition
to the Pacific that fixed the United States in the Far West.
We dig deeply into the character and personality of the
star-crossed explorer who led the way where none had gone
before - all the ground had been covered but no Indian nor
tribe had seen reason to make the whole perilous journey.
Such a trek demands a very special man and in Meriwether
Lewis, Thomas Jefferson found that man. But that he was
unique, and tragic in his inner torments, was not surprising
in a man of whom much was asked and whose triumphs answered
those demands in full measure. This is his splendid story.
Full of heart, exciting, patriotic and supremely romantic,
its main characters the figures of history, MERIWETHER
moves rapidly in dramatic scenes that seize and dazzle its
readers. "David Nevin," as James Michener said
of 1812, "is a writer of power and scope."
