The painting was bought by [[William T. Evans]] in November 1909, and he donated it to the Smithsonian Gallery of Art, now the [[Smithsonian American Art Museum]]. It was the first painting by Remington to be acquired by a US public gallery. The painting was displayed in the [[Oval Office]] during the presidency of [[Harry S. Truman]]. Later presidents preferred bronzes by Remington, such as ”[[The Bronco Buster]]” or ”[[The Rattlesnake (Remington)|The Rattlesnake]]”.
