Immerse yourself in the vivid Alaska Gold Rush written by author Jack London. London’s writing would prove to be a great influence on authors such as Jack Kerouac and George Orwell, directly inspiring Kerouac’s On the Road. Purchase a copy of the Call of the Wild book for your student from Sonlight. Jack London himself took part in the Yukon Gold Rush in 1903, aged just 21, and three years later The Call of the Wild was published to immediate acclaim. But when their bond is broken, Buck escapes the world of humans and fulfils his destiny to become a leader of wolves. Buck repays him with absolute loyalty and devotion and goes on to become the most famous pack dog in Alaska. After one particularly brutal attack leaves Buck close to death, he is rescued by prospector John Thornton. A large cross-breed, he lives a pampered life in California until he is kidnapped and sold to workers in the Yukon, where he is frequently beaten and forced to drag backbreaking loads.
While humans did the prospecting, dogs were needed to pull sleighs, and Buck is perfectly suited to the work and conditions.
Both books have many similarities, especially in that both books are about the wilderness of Canada and. During the Yukon Gold Rush, an estimated 100,000 people migrated to the region in the hope of striking it rich. The Call of the Wild and White Fang are two books written by author Jack London.
