The men’s time is running short, but White Fang’s story is just beginning.   Part wolf, part dog, White Fang is a hunter without a pack, at home neither in the camp nor in the wilderness. From the banks of the frozen Klondike river to the teeming streets of Gold Rush–era San Francisco, White Fang never stops fighting—first to survive, and then to find a home.   This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.
