content: This artifact has two old tags attached to it. One very small tag says: "From Lewis + Clarke's Exp. Presented by Thos. Nuttall to S.S. Haldeman." The other tag is an old USNM tag which says on side 1 of tag: "27050 Head ornament of weasel skins from Lewis and Clark Expedition. From Thos. Nuttall to Prof. S.S. Haldeman." On side 2 it says: "Rocky Mts." Thomas Nuttall, who gave the artifact to the donor, was a contemporary of Lewis and Clark and thus could possibly have acquired this artifact from them. Nuttall (1786-1859) was a botanist and ornithologist who made a number of collecting expeditions himself. He went up the Missouri River from St. Louis in 1811, and in 1834 went from St. Louis to the Columbia River. - F. Pickering 7-18-2007
