"The Valley manuscript, by Margaret Lynn Lewis" [manuscript], ca. 1869.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647969001

Purported to be an 18th century commonplace book of an ancestor of Meriwether Lewis. "... this so-called day-book is wholly fictitious. Someone has woven together many events of Lewis family history in this form." It was first published in 1869 in "The land we love." It was edited by H. E. Van Gelder and published in the "Salem Times-Register" in March 1940. On 1939 August 24 Miss Annie Belle Martin of "Kinderton," Hampden-Sydney, Va., wrote to acting archivist W. Edwin Hemphill, it was produced for a contest by a "college girl."
