The Call of the Wild was written by Jack London and published in 1903. Most of the novel takes place in the Yukon Territory, which is between Alaska and present-day Canada. The story takes place during the Klondike Gold Rush, shortly after gold was discovered in the Klondike in 1896.

(Sorry it's 2:00 AM right now where I live but that was all I was able to find in a short amount of time. Hope it helps you out and good luck!)
