On this day in 1911, famed author Jack London passed through Medford on his way to Crater Lake. Riding with him in a wagon drawn by four horses were his wife and a Japanese servant. On his return trip to San Francisco a few days later, he remarked: "Crater Lake is the greatest asset to southern Oregon. It is worth traveling hundreds of miles to see. I thought that I had gazed upon everything beautiful in nature as I have spent many years traveling thousands of miles to view the beauty spots of the earth, but I have reached the climax. Never again can I gaze upon the beauty spots of the earth and enjoy them as being the finest thing I have ever seen. Crater Lake is far above them all."
