The Geographical Setting of The Call of the Wild. To get a broad View of the scene of this story turn to the map of Alaska. Cutting that territory about in two is the mighty river Yukon. In imagination pass up this river from its mouth. Just after you cross the Canadian boundary line you will reach Dawson, the geographical centre of The Call of the Wild. The region lying about Dawson and mostly east of the Yukon is the famous gold region known as the Klondike. Letting your eye wander slowly down the map from Dawson toward the southwest you will catch the names of the Stewart, Lewes, and Pelly rivers, Lake Lebarge, White Horse, and Skagway.
