GENEALOGICAL NOTES AND ANECDOTES SETH EASTMAN:
Sugar Plantation - 10 Miles
Above New Orleans. Looking West Seth Eastman recorded this scene of a sugar plantation in Louisiana, on the west bank of the Mississippi River, in October 1848. Two and a half years later, in March 1851, when Sarah Rebecca MCCLELLAN (née LUCAS) journeyed past this locale, the scene would have been unchanged. It may have reminded the diarist of her former home at Shady Vale, in East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana. About Sarah Rebecca LUCAS, see G0493A: George Augustine LUCAS, Lieutenant, Child 2: Sarah Rebecca LUCAS, in Descendants of Peter Lucas (ABT 1729 - 16 November 1781). About her journey, see From Tennessee to Texas: The Diary of Sarah Rebecca Lucas McClellan and the Letter of William Wilson Sloan: Texts. About the illustrations of Seth Eastman, see From Tennessee to Texas: The Diary of Sarah Rebecca Lucas McClellan and the Letter of William Wilson Sloan: Illustrations by Seth Eastman.
