                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

entirely In the '/rong in writing to you to draw your attention to an error&#13;
no oggregious, t.o make me doubt, whether you, who knos the N'orth so well,&#13;
could have possibly written it.&#13;
on page 7'^, you say, " ~&amp;gt;y "ay tenth, the lee of the Stewart, with a great&#13;
rending and snapoing, tore loose fron the barks and ro^e three feet. Rut it did&#13;
not go'down atreara, The lower Yukon, up to where the Stewart flows in to it,&#13;
must first break and move on,  Ui'tl.'l than the lee of th« Stewart could only&#13;
ri?u» higher and higher on the increasing flood. beneath. "Hien the Yukon would&#13;
break was problematical.  m,*o thousand miles away It flowed into the Boring f?ea&#13;
and it was the Ice conditions of the Bering Sea that would determine could rid&#13;
itself of the millions of tone o+* Tee that cluttered its breast. "&#13;
Now you, su ely know better than that. You know that it requires n groat&#13;
deal more hnat, and a greater volume o"* water to move the lee in the nighty&#13;
Yukon than "or the smaller streams. The facts are that all of the smaller stream&#13;
are entirely out of lee nnd used by tie miners &amp;lt;'or boating mid fishing and in&#13;
some i-tstancen by the small steamers for navigation before the lee in Yukon&#13;
moves. The Yukon itself l« being navigated annual!" for nearly a month before&#13;
the mouth thereof breaks sufficiently so to XKXK7.73MXXX permit the river&#13;
Steamers from St, I'ieheals to go up the river.&#13;
Tl e Yukon river begins to break at the foot of Le Barge, between the&#13;
fifth and tenth of May and keeps breaking downwards, at the rate f about one&#13;
hundrerd wiles every twenty four hours untlii towards that last of !?ay the river&#13;

River Steamers laden with fresh supplies, especially fruits,vegetables and&#13;
perishables, leave the foot of j,e Barge by the fifteenth of gay and get here&#13;
by the last of gay, while navigation from the mouth of the river does not open&#13;
until! late in June nnd sometimes not even untill early in July.&#13;
Only a GheeehaXo thinks that the [ce of the rivers goes out to the Sea. A&#13;
Northerner like yourself, lenowe that all rivers form deltas ah  their mouths and&#13;
there the Ice melts and rots.&#13;

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

Ky dear Mr. London:-&#13;
You no doubt think by this time&#13;
that I am dead but you see I am not. Have&#13;
just finished re-dramatizing "Smoke Bellew".&#13;
Will send you a copy as soon as the typist&#13;
and blue-printers are through with it.&#13;
I feel that I have a good one now&#13;
and trust that you are also favorably impressed.&#13;
I am back in old Chicago and think&#13;
that I will make this my perminent address.&#13;
You know that I have confidence in&#13;
Smoke BoHew and I feel that although I may&#13;
not be a "Shaw" just now that continual effort&#13;
is the only thing that will make me a success&#13;
as a play-writter.&#13;
Very truly yours,&#13;

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers.

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.

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

lily dear London,&#13;
I have your letter and this is only a "brief&#13;
line of acknowledgement.&#13;
The "People of the Abyss", as you know, has&#13;
"been published, and copies of it will have reached you before&#13;
this letter,   I think there is nothing you will object'to&#13;
in the alterations, or elisions, which I have cade; in fact, I&#13;
do not think you will notic© them. The book is getting a lot&#13;
of notoriety, sons of it favourable, and some otherwise, but in&#13;
what is generally acknowledged to be the worst publishing season&#13;
that we have had in England for many years, I have great hopes&#13;
of its being a big success.   It promises that way at the start.&#13;
The "Xcnpton wace Letters" has dragged very&#13;
slowly at first, but is showing more activity during this last&#13;
woek or two, and I think the outlook for it also is fairly&#13;
promising*&#13;
I am asking our Publicity Department to ssnd&#13;
you some reviews which you may not have  coon.&#13;
Yours very s Sneer elyy&#13;

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

A SOCIALIST PUBLISHING HOUSE OWNED CO-OPERATIVELY  BY  OVER  2100 SOCIALIST LOCALS AND INDIVIDUALS&#13;
118 WEST KINZIE STREET&#13;
CHICAGO     MarGh 29&amp;gt;    1911«&#13;
. Dear Comrade London:&#13;
Your letter of March 4 is received and as I certainly&#13;
do not want to get you into trouble with the Macnillan Company,&#13;
I will drop the idea of the little volume for the present. What&#13;
I cared most to include in it was simply "The Dream of Debs",&#13;
which I think was not copyrighted except.in the Review and&#13;
"The Apostate", which was published by the Appeal without&#13;
copyrighting at all.   We might publish each of these later on&#13;
in pamphlet form if agreeable to you.&#13;
'"""       The trouble with our publishing "Human Drift" is that&#13;
one really needs to have a liberal education before he can enjoy&#13;
it while the others appeal to the ordinary wage-i7orker.  I have&#13;
had an occasional call for a booklet of yours entitled n&amp;lt;T,he&#13;
Tramp" but do not remember to have seen a copy for a long time.&#13;
13 it one that you would like to have circulated by the&#13;
Socialist locals?&#13;
If you ever have occasion to say anything that is too&#13;
warm for the other magazines, remember the Review.    7Te are&#13;
growing but are not yet able to pay anything like the prlcea&#13;
for articles which the big capitalist magazines offer.&#13;
Yours fraternally,&#13;

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

H.  PERRY   ROBINSON, Managing Dirbotor.&#13;
May 6th //^ 3&#13;
My dear London,&#13;
I am indeed very sorry to hear of your accident ,&#13;
although I hope that "by thetime this letter reaches you you&#13;
will have "begun to forget it.&#13;
You are correct in the matter of royalties and&#13;
I have written to the Macraillan Company saying that it is my&#13;
error, my letter having been written without reference to&#13;
documents on the subject.    I have also informed Macmillan's&#13;
that we will put the "Kempton Y/ace Letters" in hand at once.&#13;
As for the long term Agreement which I suggested,&#13;
this was only to show my spirit and attitude towards you.  So&#13;
long as you and I deal directly I think there will be no&#13;
difficulty whatever "but as soon as we get a third party between&#13;
us ©id especially a third party which, however upright, has none&#13;
the less an interest in placing your books elsewhere than with&#13;
us, there is always danger of trouble.&#13;
HThe Call of the Xlild-  I think very good and&#13;
hope we can arrange to tetce It.&#13;
Mr. Jack London&#13;

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

Office   of   MANAGING   DIRECTOR,&#13;
_ „.. February 18 th, /00 2&#13;
Dear Sir,&#13;
Va have within the last  few weeks put your book "The&#13;
God of His Fathers8 on the English market,  having taken it  from&#13;
Messrs UcClura, Phillips &amp; Co.       We have also bought  the rights&#13;
in "The son of the Uolf" from the English house to whoa Messrs&#13;
Houghton, Mifflin &amp; Co.   had parted with the^E^-M-sh r4-gfrt-3.  We&#13;
are now writing to say to you that  (as we have  already informed&#13;
Messrs Houghton, Mifflin &amp; Co.)  we  shall hope  to have whatever&#13;
future work you are putting out.      We wish to express our&#13;
admiration of the power with which you write and  it   is our&#13;
intention to push your books strongly in England,   believing that&#13;
they deserve  success.&#13;
As a commercial mutter we believe  it will be to your&#13;
advantage to see that your future books also come  into our hands&#13;
on this side. Ue  also hope  that you will see soiae propriety in&#13;
continuing as far as possible your connection with the house&#13;
which is now preparing to gamble on your first  work when it cm^t&#13;
be very much of an expertofrti with the English public.     It may&#13;
perhaps be as well to explain that  the undersigned has lived in&#13;
the United States for some 15 years* and is not unfamiliar with&#13;
mining life.    Personal considerations have largely ewayed us in&#13;
our determination to take hold of your work in earnest,  and to&#13;
do all that we can to make a success of it.    ^part from that let&#13;
me  say again that  there is a very sincere admiration for the&#13;
quality of your writing.&#13;
with best wishes.&#13;
Yours wery sincerely,^&#13;
Mr.Jack London,&#13;
952, East 16th Street,&#13;

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>

                  <text>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, &amp;ldquo;mammy&amp;rdquo; Jennie, and friend/collaborator Anna Strunsky. Other items in the digital collection include photographs and book covers. For more details about London&amp;rsquo;s life as well as a full inventory of USU&amp;rsquo;s larger print collection of Jack and Charmian London materials, see &lt;a href="http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206"&gt;http://uda-db.orbiscascade.org/findaid/ark:/80444/xv27206&lt;/a&gt;. 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.</text>
