Formerly in the collection of Sir John Caldwell. Caldwell was 5th Baronet, Castle Caldwell, County Fermanagh, Ireland. He served from 1774-1780 during the American Revolution as an officer in the 8th Regiment on Foot. He was stationed briefly at Niagara, then sent to Fort Detroit. Was made a chief of the Ojibwa and given the name Appato, The Runner.

Painted portrait of Caldwell in Indian costume (see Mackinac History, Volume II, Leaflet 1, 1972) shows him wearing this head scarf.
