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.
