The voyage London speaks of is that of a 148 day sail from Baltimore to Seattle aboard the windjammer Dirigo he took with his wife Charmian. The Bohemian Club is a private club in San Francisco which has a restricted campground called Bohemian Grove in nearby Monte Rio. On August 18 1904 Jack London went with his close friend the poet George Sterling to "Summer High Jinks" at the Bohemian Grove. Subsequently London was elected to honorary membership in the Bohemian Club and took part in many activities. Other noted members of the Bohemian Club during this time included Ambrose Bierce Gelett Burgess Allan Dunn John Muir Frank Norris and Herman George Scheffauer. George Sterling 1869 - 1926 was an American writer based in the San Francisco California Bay Area and Carmel-by-the-Sea. He was considered a prominent poet and playwright and proponent of Bohemianism during the first quarter of the twentieth century. In addition to Jack London his work was admired by writers as diverse as Upton Sinclair Theodore Dreiser and Sinclair Lewis. The American historian Kevin Starr wrote this about Sterling: â€œThe uncrowned King of Bohemia so his friends called him Sterling had been at the center of every artistic circle in the San Francisco Bay Area. Celebrated as the embodiment of the local artistic scene though forgotten today Sterling had in his lifetime been linked with the immortals his name carved on the walls of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition next to the great poets of the past.â€ unknown books
