The God of His Fathers

Our story this week is called "The God of His Fathers." It was written by Jack London in the year nineteen-oh-one. Here is Shep O'Neal with the story. Storyteller: Silently the wolves circled the herd of caribou deer. Gray bellies close to the ground, the wolves in the pack surrounded a pregnant deer. They pulled her down and tore out her throat. The rest of the caribou herd raced off in a hundred directions. The wolves began to feed. Once again the Alaska territory was the scene of silent death. Here, in its ancient forests, the strong had killed the weak for thousands and thousands of years.
