True or false jack London never actually stepped foot north of California.

False. Jack London, the American author and adventurer, did travel extensively in the Northern regions of North America. He embarked on several expeditions to Alaska and the Klondike gold rush, where he worked as a gold prospector. His experiences in these regions greatly influenced his writing, and many of his famous works, such as "The Call of the Wild" and "White Fang," are set in the harsh landscapes of the Far North.
