EARLY SETTLERS OF
ALASKA EULOGIZED
BY RUSSIAN PRIEST
Prefacing his talk recently at the
weekly meeting of the Juneau
Chamber of Commerce at Bailey’s
Cafe, with the statement that he
was going to speak on a subject that
“means much to me,” Rev. A. P.
Kashevaroff eulogized the courage
and perseverance of the early Rus
sian explorers and pioneer fur ex
peditions to Alaska, says the Jun
eau Empire.
“It is true that the American pio
neers in the gold rush period endur
ed many hardships in the Alaska
winters,” Rev. Kashevaroff said.
“But the Russian poineers required
more courage to face the hardships
they did, with little or no equip
ment, ships made out of green wood
hewn with axes and pegged togeth
er because of lack of iron.”
He explained that early Russian
sailors believed that the speed of
their ships depended on the length
of the rudder. The rudders on rel
atively small ships would frequent
ly be ten feet long, and navigators
would tell about how many times
they would lengthen their rudders
to gain speed on a voyage. The
speed in several recorded incidents,
Father Kashevaroff said, was not
more than three miles an hour.
Numerous boats were of the Um
iak type. Others were wooden with
skins on thp outside, he said. Oak
um was not available so rope was
used for calking, and pitch from
trees in place of tar. Many of these
crudely constructed boats opened
up and sank with the first bad wea
ther encountered.
“It is a mistake to call these early
Russian explorers, renegades and
convicts. The early expeditions
were made by men of a fine type,”
he said. “Later when Governors
were ordered to dispatch expedi
tions they took all types of men

available and naturally some were
not of the best."
The gold taken out of Alaska has
been incomparable with the wealth
from the earlier fur expeditions,
Rev. Kashevaroff said, and noted
these statistics:
“During a 58-year period, from
1746 t(J^1803, 82 vessels brought in
96,047 sea otters, 4,177,578 seals, 10,
421 black fox, 15,147 cross fox, 14,
961 red fox and 62,361 blue' fox.
“The Russian American Company
from 1798 to 1823, during a period
of 45 years, with 39 vessels making
safe voyages, brought in 86,644 sea
otters, 1,767,340 seals, 17,769 land
otters, 15,112 silver-gray fox, 24,585
cross fox, 35,456 red fox, 45,904 blue
fox and 5,130 white fox.”
Although the price of the fur va
ried greatly, depending on the civil
izer port in whcih it was sold, sea
otter brought from $75 to $80 a skin
in the fur market at Kiachta early in
the 1740’s.
Father Kashevaroff paid special
tribute to Emelian Basof, Michael
Nevodchikof, discoverer of Near Is
lands; Andrean Tolstykh, discover
er of Andreanof Islands; Stephen
Qlottof, discoverer of Fox Islands
and Kodiak; Eustrate Delaref, an
early fur trader; Ivan Solovief, and
Greassim Pribilof, discoverer of the
seal of Pribilof Islands.
The speaker concluded by saying
that he regretted stopping, because
he was “just getting warmed up,”
but his time had been limited.
The meeting opened with two
songs, interpreted by Monte Snow,
vocalist, accompanied by Mrs. R. J.
McChesney, “The Desert Song,”
from the operatta of the same name
and “Alaska, My Alaska,” the words
of which were written by Mr. Snow.
Both singer and accompanist were
born in Alaska and favored the
meeting with their music in com
memoration of Alaska Day.
