Jack London (1876-1916) was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. In his teens, London left school and became a seaman. He was an oyster pirate and a deep-sea sailor before returning to land to ride freight trains around the country as a hobo. He spent the winter of 1897 in Canada and Alaska, a trip that provided inspiration for his novel THE CALL OF THE WILD.
