Veazie Wilson was as amateur photographer who documented the Fort Wrangell and Juneau area as well as the Yukon Territory between 1894-1895. He wanted to create a guide book to attract miners to the Alaskan region, but died of typhoid fever in 1895 prior to the publication of his book. The book was titled Ester Lyon's Glimpse of Alaska: A Collection of Views of the Interior of Alaska and the Klondike District from Photographs by Veazie Wilson, and was published in 1897.
