White Fang | Setting
This story begins in the wilderness of the Yukon, in a harsh environment that seems hostile to all life. Through violent extremes of climate—through snowstorms and sub-zero temperatures— animals and humans struggle ruthlessly for dominance, because dominance ensures survival. Born into this harsh world, White Fang fights to survive among fierce wild animals. He is captured by Native Americans, beaten, sold to various masters, and eventually shipped to a California ranch where he learns to coexist with humans.
