The Confluence (2009-2020)

Titian Peale—son of the famous Charles Willson Peale and brother of noted artist Rembrandt Peale—was an ethnographer and artist in his own right. Stephen Long hired him as an artist and scientist to be part of the Yellowstone Expedition traveling from St. Louis in 1819. His paintings, artifacts, and words give a first-hand glimpse at the expedition and Peale’s role in it.
