Jack London 100 Years -- November 22, 2016

Exhibitors Trade Review -- 15-September-1923

100 years ago today, on 22-November-1916, writer Jack London died at his ranch in Glen Ellen, California.  For many years, people said his death was a suicide because of ill-health, but it was probably a result of sickness, alcoholism and an accidental overdose of morphine.  His was the first case I can remember reading of someone who died as an atheist.  I spent a lot of time thinking about it, especially when we visited his resting place, under a big rock at Glen Ellen.

 One of his most popular novels, The Call of the Wild, has been made into at least five motion pictures and one television series.  People love dog stories.
