Popular American novelist (1876–1916), best known for such adventure classics as The Call of the Wild, The Sea-Wolf, and White Fang, who drew his writings from his experiences as a prospector, hobo, pirate, gentleman farmer, reformer, and war correspondent. Though plagued by addiction to drugs and alcohol, London wrote prolifically and was the highest-paid American writer of his day. AQS on an off-white 8.5 x 6.5 sheet. London writes: “I’d rather be ashes than dust,” and signed at the bottom, “Jack London, Oct. 28, 1915,” and also bearing London’s stamped return address to upper left of sheet. In fine condition, with intersecting mailing folds, and a uniform shade of mild toning. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. A boldly penned quote from tortured author, quite possibly his credo. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
