About the Cover

The boy’s name is Metrofou Krukof, an Aleut. The photograph was taken on St. Paul Island circa 1870. It was most likely taken by an itinerant photographer who went to St. Paul on an Alaska Commercial Company vessel. The Aleuts of St. Paul were quite prosperous at this time; they ordered their clothing and other goods direct from San Francisco.
