About Grigorii Stepanov Kriukov

Gregory, was born circa 1825 and entered Russian-America company (RA) service at a young age and, working out of the Unalaska office, eventually became their agent at Biorka. After the sale of Alaska, the Alaska Commercial Company (AC) hired as many former employees of the RA Company as possible, and Gregory was one of these. His first wife, Evdokiia Petukhov, had died in 1870 and a few months later he married Anna Mukhoplev. In 1878 his household consisted of himself, his wife, his twenty year old son Lazar, and Lazar’s wife. On October 30, 1879, Krukoff wrote to the general agent of the AC Company at Unalaska that he was sending $46.55 (in dollars) to Father Innokentii Shaiashnikov on behalf of Biorka village and its chapel. Henry W. Elliott was in the Aleutians in the early 1870s. His description of Biorka, however, is derivative, owing many of its details to Petroff while inserting his own peculiar disdain for Aleuts. By the time he published the popular Our Arctic Province in 1886, Gregory Krukoff had died.
