History of Justice Creek

Named by National Park Service (NPS) in 1961 because it is the locale of "The Unexpected", a story by Jack London, where, in absence of the law, justice was provided by two prospectors who tried and executed a third person for a double murder. The story is based on an actual occurrence.
