Jack London gained his first and most lasting fame as the author of tales of the Klondike gold rush. This, his first collection of stories, draws on his experience in the Yukon. The stories tell of gambles won and lost, of endurance and sacrifice, and often turn on the qualities of exceptional women and on the relations between the white adventurers and the native tribes.

Stories included are:

The White Silence

The Son of the Wolf

The Men of Forty Mile

In A Far Country

To The Man On the Trail

The Priestly Prerogative

The Wisdom of the Trail

The Wife of a King

An Odyssey of the North
