The selections from the Scott papers included in Meeting of Frontiers consist of Kiowa stories that he collected while stationed at Fort Sill. The Eleanor L. Pray Album features images from Vladivostok in 1899-1901 and the life of an American merchant family living in the city at that time. It was created by Eleanor Roxanna Lord Pray (1868-1954), an American woman who lived in Vladivostok for 36 years (1894-1930). The album eventually was inherited by Pray's granddaughter Patricia D. Silver, who in 2002 donated it to the Library of Congress for scholarly use and digitization. The album offers a unique and private perspective on Russian and expatriate life at a crucial time in late-czarist Russia. Among the expatriates pictured in the album is Richard T. Greener, the U.S. commercial agent in the city at that time and the first African American graduate of Harvard College.
