Description
English:

On verso of image: Camp of Government Relief Expedition, Dyea, Alaska Filed in Alaska--Cities--Dyea

Dyea is located at the mouth of Taiya River, 3 miles northwest of Skagway. It was formerly a Chilkat Tlingit Indian village that became noted during the Yukon gold rush. The name seems to have been derived from the Indian name "Dyaytahk." Dyea was the port of entry to the Dyea Trial through Chilkoot Pass, one of the most popular routes to the Klondike. After the construction of the White Pass and Yukon Railroad in 1902, the town began to decline, and the Dyea post office was closed in that year. [Source: Donald Orth.
