It's only seventy below farenheit up there in dead of winter.

You don't mind the cold afore it's a dry cold. Sides the thermometer don't work so it's no never mind.

Most of the guys doing that were experienced mining men. About 40 or better.

Jack London ventured north in 1897 during the Klondike Gold Rush at the age of 21. This cabin, portrayed here in its original location on the left fork of Henderson Creek, was his home for a little more than a year in the Stewart River country. He did not have much luck finding the elusive gold, but inspired by the land and the characters around him, he would go on to be the foremost writer of his time, capturing forever in his prose the spirit of the North.

Two of his most famous works feature Klondike dogs; “The Call of the Wild” and “Wild Fang.” The cabin, long forgotten, was re-discovered in the ‘30s by two prospectors who found London’s signature written on the wall.

In 1968 the cabin was divided in half and moved. Two separate cabins were created for museums erected in Jack London’s honour; one is in Dawson City; the other in Oakland, London’s home town in California.
