London, Jack (1876-1916) Autograph Quotation Signed: "To Phyllis--For I am Canim, the Canoe; my trail is all the world and never ends. Jack London August 7, 1904," on a toned 5¾ x 8¾ in. album page, n. p. Left margin is uneven, affecting nothing. The inexact quotation is from a short story London wrote two years earlier called "Li Wan, The Fair," published in Children of the Frost, a collection of Northland tales first published by Macmillan in 1902. Canim was a "large Indian fully six feet in height, deep-chested and heavy-muscled…." who proclaimed, "My trail is like the world; it never ends," and later boasts, "….for I am Canim, the Canoe, made to go here and there to journey and quest up and down the length and breadth of the world."
Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000.
