The Road: 100th Anniversary Collection Jack London

Jack London books by SeaWolf Press were selected for sale by the Jack London Museum.

A beautfiul version with the first edition cover and original illustrations. This edition is part of the 100th Anniversary Collection honoring the 100th anniversary of Jack London's death in 1916. In his short 20-year career, he produced more than 50 books. The text and illustrations in this collection are taken from his early publications and the covers are replicas of the first edition covers. Fonts common 100 years ago are used--Century for the text and Bembo on the cover. The book's original format is matched as much as possible.

An autobiographical account of Jack London's hobo experiences across the country in the 1890's. Forty-five photographs show the life of hopping trains and begging for food. His exploits took place during one of the worst depressions in U. S. history and resulted in his spending thirty days in the Erie County Penitentiary after being arrested for vagrancy. The book also describes his travels with Kelly's Army marching towards Washington, D. C. to protest the lack of jobs.
