  Still shaken by the closing of the right of deposit at New Orleans, the author confronts the potential political consequences of a cession of Louisiana to France that might result in a denial of American access to the Mississippi. This title drafts instructions and a cipher for Meriwether Lewis and arranges for the needed instruments.
