Title
A name given to the resource
Jack London at Utah State University
Description
An account of the resource
Jack London, legendary author of adventure classics such as Call of the Wild and White Fang, came from blue-collar beginnings and was largely self-taught. He based many of his exciting literary yarns on his hard-scrabble life experiences which included poaching oysters, laboring at a cannery, jute mill, and coal power plant, and panning for gold in the Alaskan Klondike. Broken by personal despair, two unsuccessful attempts to have children with second wife Charmian, the destruction of his California dream home, and slow kidney failure from years of alcohol abuse, London died on November 22, 1916, at age forty. This selective small digital collection highlights his will, letters, and book inscriptions that offer insights into his complex relationships with the important women in his life: first wife Bessie, second wife Charmian, daughters Joan and Bess, mother Flora, “mammy” Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London’s life as well as a full inventory of USU’s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see <a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206">http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206</a>. Merrill-Cazier Library's Special Collections and Archives houses one of the largest Jack London manuscript collections in the world, second only to the prestigious Huntington Library in San Marino, California. This acquisition was a result of the close personal and professional relationship between Irving Shepard, Jack London's nephew and executor of his literary estate, and King Hendricks, a prominent London scholar and English professor at USU. Thanks to a series of purchases and donations from the London estate made between 1964 and 1971, USU is now proud to provide online access to selected material from the collection.

Jack London at Utah State University
Description
An account of the resource
Jack London, legendary author of adventure classics such as Call of the Wild and White Fang, came from blue-collar beginnings and was largely self-taught. He based many of his exciting literary yarns on his hard-scrabble life experiences which included poaching oysters, laboring at a cannery, jute mill, and coal power plant, and panning for gold in the Alaskan Klondike. Broken by personal despair, two unsuccessful attempts to have children with second wife Charmian, the destruction of his California dream home, and slow kidney failure from years of alcohol abuse, London died on November 22, 1916, at age forty. This selective small digital collection highlights his will, letters, and book inscriptions that offer insights into his complex relationships with the important women in his life: first wife Bessie, second wife Charmian, daughters Joan and Bess, mother Flora, “mammy” Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London’s life as well as a full inventory of USU’s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see <a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206">http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206</a>. Merrill-Cazier Library's Special Collections and Archives houses one of the largest Jack London manuscript collections in the world, second only to the prestigious Huntington Library in San Marino, California. This acquisition was a result of the close personal and professional relationship between Irving Shepard, Jack London's nephew and executor of his literary estate, and King Hendricks, a prominent London scholar and English professor at USU. Thanks to a series of purchases and donations from the London estate made between 1964 and 1971, USU is now proud to provide online access to selected material from the collection.

Jack London at Utah State University
Description
An account of the resource
Jack London, legendary author of adventure classics such as Call of the Wild and White Fang, came from blue-collar beginnings and was largely self-taught. He based many of his exciting literary yarns on his hard-scrabble life experiences which included poaching oysters, laboring at a cannery, jute mill, and coal power plant, and panning for gold in the Alaskan Klondike. Broken by personal despair, two unsuccessful attempts to have children with second wife Charmian, the destruction of his California dream home, and slow kidney failure from years of alcohol abuse, London died on November 22, 1916, at age forty. This selective small digital collection highlights his will, letters, and book inscriptions that offer insights into his complex relationships with the important women in his life: first wife Bessie, second wife Charmian, daughters Joan and Bess, mother Flora, “mammy” Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London’s life as well as a full inventory of USU’s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see <a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206">http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206</a>.

A name given to the resource
Jack London at Utah State University
Description
An account of the resource
Jack London, legendary author of adventure classics such as Call of the Wild and White Fang, came from blue-collar beginnings and was largely self-taught. He based many of his exciting literary yarns on his hard-scrabble life experiences which included poaching oysters, laboring at a cannery, jute mill, and coal power plant, and panning for gold in the Alaskan Klondike. Broken by personal despair, two unsuccessful attempts to have children with second wife Charmian, the destruction of his California dream home, and slow kidney failure from years of alcohol abuse, London died on November 22, 1916, at age forty. This selective small digital collection highlights his will, letters, and book inscriptions that offer insights into his complex relationships with the important women in his life: first wife Bessie, second wife Charmian, daughters Joan and Bess, mother Flora, “mammy” Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London’s life as well as a full inventory of USU’s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see <a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206">http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206</a>. Merrill-Cazier Library's Special Collections and Archives houses one of the largest Jack London manuscript collections in the world, second only to the prestigious Huntington Library in San Marino, California. This acquisition was a result of the close personal and professional relationship between Irving Shepard, Jack London's nephew and executor of his literary estate, and King Hendricks, a prominent London scholar and English professor at USU. Thanks to a series of purchases and donations from the London estate made between 1964 and 1971, USU is now proud to provide online access to selected material from the collection.

Jack London letter to Joan London, dated August 29, 1913.
COPY
Glen Ellen, August 29, 1913
Dearest Joan:
Of course, read all your letters from me,to your mother.
This is to reply to yours of Aug.27, 1913.
No; I neither "see" nor "understand." If you came to see me 6$ Glen Ellen here, you
would see me, all tha world, and my wife.
When you ask as if I cannot see, if I cannot understand, I answer you that I cannot
see, cannot understand what you think you see, and what you think you understand.
Now is the time for us to get right up in meeting on our hind legs and testify to
what we see and understand.
WHAT DO YOU SEE AND UNDERSTAND! Now is the time. Tell me. Let me glimpse the face
of truth as you glimpse it. Tell me what the faceJof truth looks like. If you don't tell me,
then do you refuse to share truth with me. Then are you not true to me.
And can you or I travel very far together in this world when you refuse to seek anything less than perfect understanding with me!—----anything less than full truth shared between
us!
Remember that truth is the greatest thing in the worlc. If you will be great, you
will be true. If you suppress truth, if you hide truth, if you do not rise up and speak out in
meeting, if you speak out in meeting without speaking the whole truth, then are you less true
and
than truth by that much are you less than great.
Now just what is it that you see, and you understand, which prevents you from coming
to see me on ray ranch. Don't be afraid of being harsh. Don't be afraid of being true. What
is it you see and understand (which I in truth can neither see nor understand) that prevents you
from corning to my ranch!
In all love,
(Signed) Daddy.

Logan,Utah*
Dear Kings
Answering your letter &r April 2, 1963, I will be anxious to
see the reply o* Mr* Bitter.
I will plan te be in Logan on the 9th. of Kay se I will be
there en the tenth. Would you like me to bring some of Jacks
first editions that he Autographed to my mother to be put on
display?
I think it would be a wonderful idea to have a Jack London room
in the new library and I would be willing to give some of the
origional material that I have here to the library room.
As to Charmian's autographed books 1 think it would be a ^ine
place for them if we can agree about a price. We can talk about
it when I come up in May.
If there is anything you want me to bring let me know as I am
driving up and will have plenty of room to take things.
love to Barbara and will see you in May.
Sincerely
Irving Shepard

Jack London letter to Joan London, dated November 12, 1915.
Glen Ellen, California, November 12, 19.15.
Pear Joan:
In reply to yotirs of November 5, 1915:
First of mil, I think I hive given orders to have sent to you a oheok for
$7.50 to oover the extra cost of tha silk dress. If you hav« not recffivno. this cheek
please let ne know, and I shall have it i^romptly sent.
Yes, I will sit alongside Beoky, but I will not be able to meet her outside
and go la with her. Ike must have lief own ticket and go in and take her seat, and I
will meet her there at her sent. My reasons for this are simple and ample. I ar. going
to "y^nd four hours of that day in the dentist's chair. The rest of the day will be
apemt ia getting something to eat and going to a turkish bath in order to forget how
badly my mouth hurts me. So I shall arrive at the auditorium just in tine to go in
and take ay seat.
As regards/ my tioket, it would be the easiest thing for me if you mailed it
to me ear« of Grandma at 490 ftfth Street, or gave it to Grandma with instructions to
hold it for me and txirn over to rm whan I arrive from Glen Ellen. Mow if it be mailed
under my narae to Grandma without any instructions, Grandma will most likely re-address
the letter to Glen Ellen, and I shall be in Oakland and the tioket will be in Glen
llleftj so it is ttf to you so to arrange it that Grandma will hold the ticket in Oakland
and give it to ne when I oome down.
h fhen I seo Becky I will pay her the half dollar for my tioket.
As regards your eritioisn of Dr. Goodhue's article, on ne, entitled "The
absolutely
Rancher", I agree/with you in your eritioisn. I could not have stated it better myself.
I shall be forever unable to se« you and Beoky at your Piedmont hone. As you
know, the ranch is always open to both of you. Also, sometime, if you eatiVMlxP oan see
your way to it, I should be glad to have you oone and have lunch or dinner with ne at
the "Saddle Rook" restaurant on 13th Street.

Jack London at Utah State University
Description
An account of the resource
Jack London, legendary author of adventure classics such as Call of the Wild and White Fang, came from blue-collar beginnings and was largely self-taught. He based many of his exciting literary yarns on his hard-scrabble life experiences which included poaching oysters, laboring at a cannery, jute mill, and coal power plant, and panning for gold in the Alaskan Klondike. Broken by personal despair, two unsuccessful attempts to have children with second wife Charmian, the destruction of his California dream home, and slow kidney failure from years of alcohol abuse, London died on November 22, 1916, at age forty. This selective small digital collection highlights his will, letters, and book inscriptions that offer insights into his complex relationships with the important women in his life: first wife Bessie, second wife Charmian, daughters Joan and Bess, mother Flora, “mammy” Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers.

Tanscript of Jack London letter to Charmian London, dated August 2, 1910.
[Original at Jack London Ranch]
Written from Ranch
Charmain in Fabiola
Hospital after birth
and death of Joy (their only child) at birth
August 2, 1910
D ear e s t My-Wo man:-
The papers were slow in getting started because my signature to open
letter was typed and they feared it was a fake.
But, honestly, I believe I've got Samuels' goat 1 He's afraid to come
back.
It's election time, you know, and I think enough botes will be swung to
defeat him.
Also hush mention it not 1 got a tip from Noel to-day, which
remains to be investigated and proved, namely (l) Samuels is partly interested -
in Muldowney's dive — how, I do not know. And, (2) one of Samuels relatives
owns the ground and the building rented by Muldowney. Noel is looking it up.
Election the waterfront, other places, there are any number of men,
not socialists, who will remember me and scratch Samuels' name from the ballot.
Incidentally, Muldowney goes on getting more public notoriety for his
place, and is sorry he ever met me. He'll have a job living down (police)
the notoriety I've given him.
There is a daily published in Oakland named The Mail, I believe. Look
up and send me what it said yesterday. Don't forget to-day's Call and Chronicle.
Two letters, on strength of evening papers publication of letter, show
how some votes will swing.
I am saving all your letters. I only destroyed one the "blue" one
in which you worried about me and Samuels.
(signed) Your Own Man.

Glen Elian, California, August 21, 1914,
Dear Jack London:•
In reply to your good lattar of August 3, 1914«
I imagine that wa came from tha same original stock but that we became early sap*
ereted after coming to dwell in America. The London branch that I am descended from was living
at Cape May, New Jersey, at tha time of BraddockV defeat, Shortly aftar ths olose of tha
French and Indian wars these Lcndone migrated into Pennsylvania and of oourse after that
spread slowly westward so that I was bom in California,
But prior to tha residence of the Londons at Cape May, Haw Jersey, they lived in
Connecticut and there tradition ceases, Wa have no zecord of how early they cams abroad from
England.
By tha way, there ia a vary large Jewish family that goes by tha name of London*
Thaaa ware Austrian Java who oame over to England about two hundred yaars agofront Austria
and who ohanged thair nana to London* Since that time thay hava spread all over the world,
aa I wall know, because I have encountered them all over the world.
If you are ever out in California ba aura to look ma up.
Sincerely Tours,

For more details about London’s life as well as a full inventory of USU’s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see <a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206">http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206</a>. Merrill-Cazier Library's Special Collections and Archives houses one of the largest Jack London manuscript collections in the world, second only to the prestigious Huntington Library in San Marino, California. This acquisition was a result of the close personal and professional relationship between Irving Shepard, Jack London's nephew and executor of his literary estate, and King Hendricks, a prominent London scholar and English professor at USU. Thanks to a series of purchases and donations from the London estate made between 1964 and 1971, USU is now proud to provide online access to selected material from the collection.

Jack London at Utah State University
Description
An account of the resource
Jack London, legendary author of adventure classics such as Call of the Wild and White Fang, came from blue-collar beginnings and was largely self-taught. He based many of his exciting literary yarns on his hard-scrabble life experiences which included poaching oysters, laboring at a cannery, jute mill, and coal power plant, and panning for gold in the Alaskan Klondike. Broken by personal despair, two unsuccessful attempts to have children with second wife Charmian, the destruction of his California dream home, and slow kidney failure from years of alcohol abuse, London died on November 22, 1916, at age forty. This selective small digital collection highlights his will, letters, and book inscriptions that offer insights into his complex relationships with the important women in his life: first wife Bessie, second wife Charmian, daughters Joan and Bess, mother Flora, “mammy” Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky.

Jack London at Utah State University
Description
An account of the resource
Jack London, legendary author of adventure classics such as Call of the Wild and White Fang, came from blue-collar beginnings and was largely self-taught. He based many of his exciting literary yarns on his hard-scrabble life experiences which included poaching oysters, laboring at a cannery, jute mill, and coal power plant, and panning for gold in the Alaskan Klondike. Broken by personal despair, two unsuccessful attempts to have children with second wife Charmian, the destruction of his California dream home, and slow kidney failure from years of alcohol abuse, London died on November 22, 1916, at age forty. This selective small digital collection highlights his will, letters, and book inscriptions that offer insights into his complex relationships with the important women in his life: first wife Bessie, second wife Charmian, daughters Joan and Bess, mother Flora, “mammy” Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London’s life as well as a full inventory of USU’s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see <a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206">http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206</a>. Merrill-Cazier Library's Special Collections and Archives houses one of the largest Jack London manuscript collections in the world, second only to the prestigious Huntington Library in San Marino, California. This acquisition was a result of the close personal and professional relationship between Irving Shepard, Jack London's nephew and executor of his literary estate, and King Hendricks, a prominent London scholar and English professor at USU. Thanks to a series of purchases and donations from the London estate made between 1964 and 1971, USU is now proud to provide online access to selected material from the collection.

Letter to Jack London from Ruth Elbright Finley, Ficton Editor for The Scripps-McRae League publisher, dated November 30, 1914.
THE SCRIPPS-MCRAE LEAGUE
EDITORIAL
PRESS BUILDING, CLEVELAND
November 30, 1914.
If. Jack London
Glen Ellen, California.
Dear Sir:
I understand from your publishers—The MacMillan
Company—that the serial rights to your book THE
MUTINTOF THE ELSINOR, are held by yourself.
I should like very much to get a release on this
story for the Scnpps-McRae League papers, a list
of which I append to this letter.
In using the story it would be run as one of our
novels-a-week and would therefore have to be cut
to about 20.000 words. For this privilege I would
be willing to pay $200.00. Of course we advertise
each story widely before publication.
Hoping to hear from you favorably, and at your
earliest convenience, I am,
Vejy truly
"*S, Fiction Editor. /

Jack London at Utah State University
Description
An account of the resource
Jack London, legendary author of adventure classics such as Call of the Wild and White Fang, came from blue-collar beginnings and was largely self-taught. He based many of his exciting literary yarns on his hard-scrabble life experiences which included poaching oysters, laboring at a cannery, jute mill, and coal power plant, and panning for gold in the Alaskan Klondike. Broken by personal despair, two unsuccessful attempts to have children with second wife Charmian, the destruction of his California dream home, and slow kidney failure from years of alcohol abuse, London died on November 22, 1916, at age forty. This selective small digital collection highlights his will, letters, and book inscriptions that offer insights into his complex relationships with the important women in his life: first wife Bessie, second wife Charmian, daughters Joan and Bess, mother Flora, “mammy” Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London’s life as well as a full inventory of USU’s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see <a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206">http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206</a>. Merrill-Cazier Library's Special Collections and Archives houses one of the largest Jack London manuscript collections in the world, second only to the prestigious Huntington Library in San Marino, California. This acquisition was a result of the close personal and professional relationship between Irving Shepard, Jack London's nephew and executor of his literary estate, and King Hendricks, a prominent London scholar and English professor at USU. Thanks to a series of purchases and donations from the London estate made between 1964 and 1971, USU is now proud to provide online access to selected material from the collection.

Description
An account of the resource
Jack London, legendary author of adventure classics such as Call of the Wild and White Fang, came from blue-collar beginnings and was largely self-taught. He based many of his exciting literary yarns on his hard-scrabble life experiences which included poaching oysters, laboring at a cannery, jute mill, and coal power plant, and panning for gold in the Alaskan Klondike. Broken by personal despair, two unsuccessful attempts to have children with second wife Charmian, the destruction of his California dream home, and slow kidney failure from years of alcohol abuse, London died on November 22, 1916, at age forty. This selective small digital collection highlights his will, letters, and book inscriptions that offer insights into his complex relationships with the important women in his life: first wife Bessie, second wife Charmian, daughters Joan and Bess, mother Flora, “mammy” Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London’s life as well as a full inventory of USU’s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see <a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206">http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206</a>. Merrill-Cazier Library's Special Collections and Archives houses one of the largest Jack London manuscript collections in the world, second only to the prestigious Huntington Library in San Marino, California. This acquisition was a result of the close personal and professional relationship between Irving Shepard, Jack London's nephew and executor of his literary estate, and King Hendricks, a prominent London scholar and English professor at USU. Thanks to a series of purchases and donations from the London estate made between 1964 and 1971, USU is now proud to provide online access to selected material from the collection.
