Biographical Note
Jack London (1876-1916) was an American author and journalist best known for his fiction about California, Alaska, and the
Pacific.
London published his first story, "Typhoon Off the Coast of Japan," in 1893, and,
by the late 1890s, London's stories were appearing regularly in American magazines. London's first book,
A Son of the Wolf,
was published in 1900, and his novel
The Call of the Wild, which became one of the most internationally popular works by an
American, was published in 1903.
An autodidact, London directed his thirst for knowledge toward several passions, including
sailing, ranching, and photography; he also became interested in socialism and joined the Socialist Labor Party in April 1896.
He traveled
widely, to Hawaii and throughout the South Pacific, through California, Oregon, Nevada, to Korea
during the Russo-Japanese War, Mexico during the Mexican Civil War, and London, England, experiences that are reflected in
his writing and his photographs.
London died on November 22, 1916.
