Mary Malloy is the author of four books on the Northwest Coast Maritime fur trade, including Souvenirs of the Fur Trade: Northwest Coast Indian Art and Artifacts Collected by American Mariners, and Devil on the Deep Blue Sea: The Notorious Career of Captain Samuel Hill of Boston. Her association with Lewis and Clark began—nominally at least—back in her middle-school days in her hometown of Spokane, Washington, where she attended Sacajawea Junior High and Lewis and Clark High School. She earned her Ph.D. at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
Currently, she teaches Maritime History at the Sea Education Association in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and Museum Studies at Harvard University.

Chinookan Woven Hats
by Mary Malloy
Today five hats at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology (PMAE) at Harvard University have a provenance that potentially associates them with the Lewis and Clark expedition. These hats represent an extensive network of trade.
