In 1897, when gold was discovered in the Klondike, he obtained a grubstake and spent a freezing, fruitless winter in the Far North; by spring he was ready to return home to write. In 1900, his collection of short stories \u003ci\u003eThe Son of the Wolf\u003c\/i\u003e was published. Two more volumes of Yukon short stories, a juvenile novel, and a Klondike novel followed in rapid succession. Then came his bestselling novel \u003ci\u003eThe Call of the Wild\u003c\/i\u003e (1903) and the beginning of the years that were to bring him wealth and worldwide popularity. The eternal traveler, London served as a correspondent in Japan and Mexico and sailed his own ketch to the Solomon Islands before his death. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eJohn Seelye\u003c\/b\u003e is a leading American Studies scholar and Graduate Research Professor of American literature at the University of Florida at Gainesville.
