I’m so glad to see someone honoring a great writer like Jack London. I read all of his books in Junior High. I can still feel the emotion that flooded my being as I read his stories.

Found Jack London when a fireman on the old Steam Engines of the GWR from 1957 to 61. His short stories may be his best work. He was also a visionary breaking ground for other writers.
