"The Saturday Evening Post," June 27, 1903

Summary

Before The Call of the Wild was a book, it was serialized in four issues of The Saturday Evening Post, a popular weekly magazine. This issue of the magazine -- part of a subscription owned by Clara Ford -- presented Part Two of the story. Jack London's approach was to unfold the story through the thoughts and emotions of his dog-hero, Buck.
