The Faith of Men is a short story collection originally published in 1904 and contains eight of Jack London's adventure tales, all of them set in London's favorite milieu -- the Yukon Territory. A Relic of the Pliocene concerns a "homely, blue-eyed, freckle-faced" hunter named Thomas Stevens and his tracking and eventual killing of a prehistoric mammoth. A Hyperborean Brew also concerns Thomas Stevens and his schemes. In Batard, an evil master makes a monster of an evil dog. Other stories included are The Faith of Men, Too Much Gold, The One Thousand Dozen, The Marriage of Lit-Lit, Batard, and The Story of Jees Uck.
