Frank N and Taylor C. 1985. Historic Structures and Sites: Dyea and the Chilkoot Trail. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service
Dyea was one of the major towns to grow into prominence as a result of the Klondike gold rush. Previously a Tlingit village and a trading post, the town population rose to about 10,000 people by the early spring of 1898, until a series of events brought about its quick decline. This report presents historical data on the Dyea townsite and structures, including maps and a directory of businesses and their locations. Sections of the report address specific structures and areas of Dyea. History, development, and notes on the condition at the time of the report are included.
