Captain Seth Eastman was a soldier who spent many years in the American west, particularly working as an artist to document Native Americas for the U.S. government and for private purposes. In the 1840s he was commander at Fort Snelling, MN, and he was accompanied by his wife, Mary Henderson Eastman. Eastman and Mary were very sympathetic to the Indians and they took great pains to learn their language and customs, making Eastman's images some of the most accurate and interesting of the nineteenth century. Eastman's images appeared in a number of rare publications and they are both attractive and fascinating in their depictions.
