CATLIN, GEORGE (1796-1872). George Catlin, painter and chronicler of American Indians was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, on July 26, 1796.
     From 1830 to 1836 Catlin traveled and painted Indians of the West much of each spring, summer, and fall. After spending part of two years painting subjects immediately accessible from St. Louis, he boarded the steamer Yellow Stone^qv in 1832 for its maiden voyage to Fort Union, which stood at the confluence of the Yellowstone and upper Missouri rivers. Following the same route as the Lewis & Clark expediton, Catlin painted furiously during the five months up river and returned with some of the most significant and authentic paintings of Native Americans.
