The James Logan Courier

Jack London, probably born John Griffith Chaney (January 12, 1876 - November 22, 1916) was an American author who wrote The Call of the Wild and over fifty other books. A pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction, he was one of the first Americans to make a huge financial success from writing.
