His son and associate Gifford MacGregor Proctor finished the sculpture between 1950 and 1953. Bedi-Rassy Art Foundry served as the founder.
  According to the Smithsonian Institution, the statue is a duplicate of a bronze unveiled in the United States Capitol in 1952. This sculpture was financed mainly by legislative appropriation, but also from contributions by Oregon school children. The statue was surveyed and considered "treatment needed" by the Smithsonian's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in April 1993, and was administered by the Facility Services department of the State of Oregon at that time.
