about growing up in Dakota culture; some were translated into European languages and published on the Continent. In 1835, while stationed at West Point, Seth Eastman married a second time, to Mary Henderson, daughter of a Southern surgeon and granddaughter of Commodore Thomas Truxton. She and her family were from Warrenton, Virginia. The couple had five children together, some born during Eastman's extended assignment in the West when he returned to Fort Snelling for seven years as commanding officer. The couple were both interested in Dakota culture. Mary Eastman collected traditional stories and legends during their time at Fort Snelling, as preparation for a later book which her husband illustrated. Eastman is buried at Oak Hill Cemetery in Washington, D.C. See also Elbridge Ayer Burbank George Catlin Paul Kane W.
