The 45-page boo…klet has the print enlarged for easier reading. A vinyl sheet has been added to protect the front cover. The murder or suicide of Meriwether Lewis (famous as one of the leaders of the Lewis and Clark Expedition) at a tavern here not only put Lewis County on the map, so to speak, but provided a name for it.

Other items in the history of this county include a description of the land, names of early settlers and early county officials, and a little on the various communities of Newburg, Hohenwald, Voorhies, Carpenter's Station, and Palestine. We've added some other references to clarify (or add more confusion) to the death of Lewis. There are only three biographies for Lewis County: Z.V. Dabbs, Samuel L. Massey, and James W. Stockard. Hickman County was named for a surveyor who was killed by Indians while surveying the area. The history portion for this county includes names of early settlers, description of the land, early mills and other enterprises, controversy over the selection of a county seat, the court house, county officials, participants in the war with Mexico, the Civil War, the town of Centreville, with names of businesses, Pine Wood, Schools, and Churches.
