Matthias Schuler (b. 1870)
Matt Schuler was born in Siskiyou County, California. He was educated at Atkinson's Business College in Sacramento and worked at farming for a short time. He travelled over the Chilkoot Pass in 1890 and camped and ate dinner on the spot where Dawson would be founded. Schuler travelled to Circle and began a freighting business, owning the first wagon.
After the Klondike strike, he had a successful freighting business in Dawson. A day's work was worth $100. He was in Dawson until the spring of 1900, when he went to Nome and took some interests in mining claims.1)
