Iris Jamahl Dunkle was a sixth-grader when she first visited Jack London State Park on a class field trip to view the Glen Ellen “Beauty Ranch” of the famous writer. There you can view the remains of his Wolf House, destroyed by fire before it was finished, the cottage where he died, and the rock marking the remains of the man who declared he would “rather be ashes than dust.” It was some years later that Dunkle began to wonder about the woman who had lived in the other stone house on the grounds. Charmian Kittredge London, Jack’s widow, and his step-sister, Eliza Smith, built the imposing House of Happy Walls. After Charmian’s death in 1955, it became, as she had wished, a museum, and a tribute to the Londons’ work and their life together.
