My grt grt great grandfather was 1814 Mobile, Alabama, 3rd U.S. Infanrty, Col. Gilbert Christian Russell, Sr., who as the commanding officer of Fort Pickering below Memphis, then Captain Russell investigated and reported on the of his friend, Capt. Meriweather Lewis. This gives me no special insite as to the cause of Capt Meriweather's ; except that I believe Col. Russell would want me to treat it as fairly and objectively as I can.
What might give insite into Capt. Lewis' is my late father was a diagnosed manic-depressive for whom unusually low doses of lithium helped greatly. Based on dad's symptons and those of Capt. Lewis, I believe Capt. Meriweather could have been an untreated manic-depressive? Though he could have, concurrently, also had other problems too, with the same or simuliar results.
Though one is worried about ; when dad got off his Lithium I found it far easier to cope with a depressed father than a manic one. Depressed, evey one is more capable that he, so he tended to follow advice. Manic, it's like he thinks he's the Titanic and can sprout wings and, full speed ahead; fly over the icebergs.
