Buck, a huge 4-year-old Scottish Shepherd-Saint Bernard cross-breed, lived a life of ease at Judge Miller's Santa Clara Valley estate. This is the story of Buck and how he was thrust into the life of a sled-dog in the savage Klondike during the Gold Rush, and how he ran with the wolves.
Jack London, born in San Francisco on January 12, 1876, is well known for his stories involving men and animals and their struggles in the environment.
