These three would be AMAZING friends. All three were pioneers, frontiersmen, LITERAL TRAILBLAZERS.

He would have an absolute field day with their journals, and they would share their stories.

JUST IMAGINE IT.

Been thinking really hard lately about how I've always said I was gonna write a Meriwether Lewis biography, only focus on other things besides the CORPS of Discovery. And honestly I feel like the mental health of the Lewis family in general is something other historians haven't focused on too much? We just kind of brush it off that "Oh Meriwether had depression!" But like, was there something else there that affected mental illness and resulted in this? Bc like later on his younger brother John Hastings ALSO committed suicide, showing some of the same paranoia as his older brother. Jefferson also mentions about how:

"Governor Lewis had from early life been subject to hypochondriac affections. It was a constitutional disposition and all of the nearer branches of the family of his name. While he lived with me in Washington I observed the time seasonable depressions of mind.”

So we KNOW there are other occurrences throughout the family of bouts like this.

Of course all of this could probably be easily described as simply "marrying close relatives does not work genetically."

Anyway thats my idea

her: wyd

me: theres just this LEVEL of codependency that i love in relationships like to the point where absolute despair is the only choice if they dont have one another. i think clark ALSO was somewhat dependent on lewis despite most interpretations, but i think he was able to lean into more traditional life during his time of society bcuz he was generally more well-liked than lewis and had less of an incline to depression and addiction. i truly believe that lewis wouldve been okay if he had more support and wasnt left to fend for himself like a wounded animal. clark had PLANS for what would happen after the expedition (a wife, children, a successful job) while its clear that lewis never knew what he wanted outside of the freedom to wander. his intelligence both encouraged him and trapped him, and he was cracking under the pressure of everything with no help. anyway do u want my nudes

#i just. think too much abt them. #genuinely cried earlier looking at pictures of lewis bcuz i got sad over him #funny thing is is THATS NOT THE FIRST TIME IVE DONE THAT????? #rip yt man you wouldve called me slurs but its okay bcuz i couldve fixed you #anyway do you think clark was ever happy in his marriages or do you think he was just doing what was expected of him? #what if hes also gay but super duper closeted bcuz it was hammered into him that he must marry and have kids holy shit #these men are such dilemmas i love them #lewis and clark #meriwether lewis #lewis and clark expedition #william clark #early 19th century #early 1800s #jeffersonian history #gay

It’s October 11….and my boy Meriwether Lewis needed a post featuring expressions I’m sure he used a lot. Especially his judgmental expression on the top right

BUT I’ve also been giggling at this for the past 3 days so

the fact that he spent 6 times as much money on wine than Lewis's salary is pretty hilarious tbh

Good day my name is Meriwether Laudanum Syphilis Woodpecker Lewis and i have short ash brown hair (from my father, who i get my name from) with gray roots and brown tips that reaches my mid-forehead and muddy hazel eyes like the misissipi river and a lot of people tell me i look like Thomas Jefferson (A/N: if u don't know who he is get da hell out of here!). I'm not related to Mahlon Dickerson but I wish I was because he's a major fucking hottie. I'm a Virginian but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white skin. I'm also a Captain, and I'm on a magic expedition called the Corps of Discovery in the Louisiana Territory where I'm in the first year (I'm thirty). I'm a hypochondriac (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear mostly black. I love my tailor and I buy all my clothes from him. For example today I was wearing a black coat with matching lace around it and a black cotton waistcoat, white breeches and black riding boots. I was wearing a black chapeau bras hat, a white cravat, black coal tar and red blush. I was walking outside Fort Mandan. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of privates stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.

"Hey Lewis!" shouted a voice. I looked up. It was.... William Clark!

"What's up Clark?" I asked.

"Nothing." he said shyly.

But then, I heard my inferiors call me and I had to go away.
