Bitterroot explores the complex life of Meriwether Lewis, highlighting his achievements as a pioneering explorer and his subsequent disgrace amid controversy. Using symbolic imagery like the bitterroot flower, the book examines the circumstances surrounding Lewis’s mysterious death and questions the long-standing narrative of suicide promoted by Thomas Jefferson.
