In the late 1930s, Sharp wrote the following note to Frank Phillips about this work:  "Related to the head Chief Two-Leggins. Notwithstanding his dandy-like appearance on festive occasions, he had great knowledge and influence and much sought after by Government officers as well as the Indians for his views and advice and councils in land claims, the encroachment of the whites, better stock and general improvement." (Woolaroc archives)

This portrait traveled to New York and Boston in 1906.  In New York, it was shown at the Fishel, Adler & Schwartz Galleries. It was exhibited in Cincinnati and Indianapolis two years later, and then again in 1912 and 1916 in Cincinnati. It did not sell until 1939 to Frank Phillips.
