2. This racist POS sold 20-30,000 copies. Wonder what Mary H. E. thought of

the first marriage of her husband Seth Eastman, a military officer from Maine. Eastman's first wife was Native American and they had a child, both of whom he abandoned. If she knew.

Wiki: During his first posting at Fort Snelling near what is now Minneapolis, Seth Eastman in 1830 married Wakan Inajin-win (Stands Sacred), the fifteen-year-old daughter of Cloud Man, a Dakotah (Santee Sioux) chief of French and Dakota ancestry.
Eastman was reassigned from Fort Snelling in 1832, soon after the birth of their daughter Winona (meaning First-born daughter).
He declared his marriage ended when he was reassigned, as was typical of many European-American men who abandoned Indian women and their children. His daughter Winona was also called Mary Nancy Eastman. Later she was named Wakantakawin in the Sioux tradition of marking life passages...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seth_and_Mary_Eastman
