Captain Seth Eastman’s Journey with a Sketchbook: Down the Mississippi

As part of the McNay’s celebration of San Antonio’s 300th anniversary, the Museum has organized a series of exhibitions of the drawings of Captain Seth Eastman, a West Point-trained draftsman who traveled to Texas in the late 1840s. These four exhibitions follow Eastman’s journey down the Mississippi to New Orleans, across the Gulf of Mexico to Matagorda Bay, then up to San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country.
