## About

Judge Miller is the master of a big house in the sun-kissed Santa Clara Valley, the comfortable Southland estate where Buck lives at the opening of The Call of the Wild by Jack London. His place spreads across lawns, stables, servants' cottages, orchards, and vineyards, and the Judge himself sits on the Raisin Growers' Association.

Buck rules the whole realm as a sated aristocrat: he hunts with the Judge's sons, escorts his daughters Mollie and Alice on rambles, carries his grandsons on his back, and lies at the Judge's feet before the library fire. It is from this settled, dignified life on Judge Miller's estate that Buck is taken.
