Alaska Letter From Mrs Perkins Describes Dyea Juneau Trip
A letter from Dyen Alaska dated February 5 1808 details a four month stay in Juneau and arrival at Dyea island port. It notes weather cold near zero, bustling activity on the new town’s wharf, sled travels to Canon City Sheep Camp and Lakes, diverse residents, a relocated church, and Norse settlers. Commerce, mail delays, ships with passengers, and prospects for mining and lumber drive a thriving frontier.
