3 1/4" by 4 1/4". Two Leggings or Apitisee was a Crow Akduxxiilee, lipche Akee and Bacheeitche of the Binneessiippeele. Two Legging's exact birth date is unknown. It is assumed he was born between the years of 1846 and 1851. His death is recorded as April 23, 1923. The events of Two Legging's life were documented by William Wildschut, the author of Two Leggings: The Making of a Crow Warrior. This biography has served as an important source of information about Plains Indian life, as it was, prior to the reservation era. Two Leggings resided in the Crow Nation with the rank of Pipe Holder, equal to platoon lieutenant. Once the extermination of the American bison began, the competition among the Plains Indians was at its fiercest. War became a struggle of life and death in the many plains societies. War was no trivial matter, in the societies it was a very spiritual matter. War required the proper ceremonies and occult assistance. Triumph in war was contingent on divine arrangements, war medicine, the bravery of the warrior, and the expertise they possessed. Owing to the constant state of war found in the Great Plains, death in conflict was a special honor, people who died young were thought to have had a weak sacred helper or that they did not abide by their sacred father. Warriors who lived into old age were believed to have very formidable spiritual helpers. Two Leggings lived to be quite old, though it was deemed that he did not have a very strong spiritual helper due to the inadequacy of his spiritual manifestations. He eventually went onto buy War Medicine from Sees the Living Bull, but ultimately it did little to help him.
