Thank you. This thread has a way to go yet and it will include plenty of mostly railroad-related history.
Dawson City and the Klondike gold fields are, however, in the Yukon Territory in Canada, not in Alaska. Historically, Alaska and the Yukon are heavily intertwined thanks in large part to the Klondike gold rush.
