A
lecture, rather than an interview, but about an important California writer,
Jack London. The lecture was given in the Moya Library for members of the
Library. As this oral history program is a project of the Moya Library,
it somehow seemed appropriate to include the Professor's narrative. He
had done extensive research on his subject and adds color and depth to
the Jack London legend. Mr. Erbentraut resides in San Anselmo. 2 May 1975 |
