Death and controversies of Fernando De Leyba in early Missouri
This week recalls Fernando De Leyba appointed lieutenant governor of Upper Louisiana arriving at St. Louis in 1778. His brief two year rule drew mixed judgments, with later Cuban archives arguing he was conscientious and competent and aided Clark in the conquest of the northwest. He died June 28, 1780, after a contested tenure marked by charges of unfitness and alleged misdeeds fading in light of documented fairness and support for the American Revolution.
