In 1896 Bob Mathieson found a major prospect on Upper Chicken Creek, staked his claim and built a cabin. Chicken, an old local name for the ptarmigan, grew into the hub of the southern Fortymile Mining District, with about 700 miners working the area between 1896 and 1898. In 1925 Ann Purdy, known as Tisha, taught school in the two-story Chicken Creek Hotel. That's from the State of Alaska community database.
