Defender of the Fur Seal: Discovery to Purchase
(Movie format: Windows Media Player , size: 4.2M)
This clip includes the discovery of the Pribilof Islands by Russian fur traders and introduces the Pribilof fur seal harvest, which was a very profitable industry in its day and may have been one of the main factors in the United States' decision to purchase the Alaska territory.

Defender of the Fur Seal: Fur Seal Treaty
(Movie format: Windows Media Player , size: 4.3M)
This clip focuses on the biggest decline in the fur seal population due to combined efforts of pelagic harvesting (in the open ocean) and the land harvest and Elliott's resulting efforts to spearhead the Fur Seal Treaty of 1911, which finally offered the Pribilof fur seal some protection from over-harvesting.
