Dog Sled RacesDog sled races are a very popular sport in Alaska.
The most famous long-distance race is the
Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. The Iditarod is 1,150 miles and goes over
mountains, frozen rivers and forests. It is from Anchorage to Nome and most led dogs
wear harnesses and are hooked in pairs. The first race on the Iditarod trail was in 1967.

Specific Cities Santa Cara Valley is were Buck lived with Judge Miller in the
first part of his life. Santa Clara Valley is located in California. In the book Buck travels to Dawson more than once. Dawson played a big part in the Klondike Gold Rush because
many people traveled through there. By 1899, the gold rush had ended and the town's population
plummeted as all but 8,000 people left.

ConclusionIn this PowerPoint we tried to explain
different parts of The Call of the Wild that may have been confusing. They could have been confusing because the reader may have had they appropriate information, and we tried to give all the correct information about different subjects like the author, Jack London, Alaska, dog sled races, and specific cites that were mentioned in the book.
