Historical Figure
Nicholas Biddle
Nicholas Biddle was a Philadelphia lawyer, financier, and later president of the Second Bank of the United States who served as the editor of the first comprehensive published account of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. After Meriwether Lewis's death in 1809 left the expedition journals unpublished, William Clark entrusted the manuscripts to Biddle, who worked with journalist Paul Allen to produce the two-volume "History of the Expedition Under the Command of Captains Lewis and Clark" in 1814. This edition shaped public understanding of the expedition for generations.
