The Londons Head to Hoopa in 1911

After their VISIT TO THE REDWOOD COAST in 1911, writer Jack London and his wife Charmian headed inland, visiting Hoopa before heading down the Klamath River escorted by Indian guides in a wooden canoe.

I have posted about the FASHION STABLES before- which were located at 4th & G Streets (where Redwood Capital Bank is now)

Interesting that the paper failed to note that Jack was traveling with his wife Charmian. I guess a married celebrity is not as interesting- or perhaps a wife just not worth the mention…?
