About this book

The Faith of Men by Jack London has a contents list of A Relic of the Pliocene, A Hyperborean Brew, Too Much Gold, The One Thousand Dozen, The Marriage of Lit-lit, Bâtard and The Story of Jees Uck. The piece headed A Relic of the Pliocene has a speaker who says he washes his hands of a man at the start, cannot father his tales, and will not be responsible for them.

A speaker says he was in camp one day with Klooch, a little kamooks whose father was a full-blood Malemute from Russian Pastilik on Bering Sea. Rasmunsen, who all his life had been prone to cowardice on water, clings to the kicking steering-oar with set face and determined jaw, with his thousand dozen secured beneath the correspondents' baggage. A simple little philosophy is set out in which clean living was the way to grace, duty performed was sanctification, and work was salvation.
