Here is the corrected version :) :

1- The story takes place in Alaska, in the Great North, the "Wild," during the gold rush.

2- The two men are transporting the corpse of one of their friends in a coffin. Their goal is to bring him back to civilization for burial.

3- A she-wolf continually follows them and sometimes mingles with the sled dogs. She acts as bait to lure the sled dogs away from the men so that the wolf pack can eat them.

4- All the dogs are devoured; only one man, "Henry," survives, saved at the last moment by the arrival of another group of men with ammunition.

5- White Fang is an animal, three-quarters wolf and one-quarter dog. His parents are the she-wolf and the One-Eye.

6- The terrible famine that ravages this time has killed the weakest. White Fang must learn the laws of survival very early on.

7- It is an Indian who names the wolf cub this way.

8- His mother is actually Kiche, a female half-wolf half-dog who was raised by the Indians, which explains her immediate submission.

9- His sworn enemy is Lip-Lip, another dog.

10- Beauty-Smith is a shady individual, a cook at the White camp. This ironic nickname was given to him because of his extreme ugliness.

11- He wants White Fang to make him participate in dog fights.

12- He makes the Indian owner of the dog an alcoholic. This man eventually sells White Fang to him for alcohol.

13- White Fang attempts to escape three times. The last time, he is almost beaten to death as punishment.

14- His nickname is "Fighting Wolf" or "Battle Wolf."

15- His conqueror is a bulldog named "Cherokee."

16- A young man named Scott rescues him from the jaws of the bulldog.

17- He manages to tame White Fang and turn the wolf, made savage by the cruelty of men, into an animal that discovers for the first time the sweetness of affection.

18- Scott eventually takes White Fang with him to America, in California, to his father's estate, Judge Scott. One night, a dangerous criminal breaks into the house to take revenge on the judge. White Fang leaps at him and kills him. He himself, gravely injured, miraculously survives to see the end of the litter of pups he had with the house's female dog. His integration into civilization is complete.

Hello,

I’m not quite sure that anyone can answer all these questions; it might be a bit too much. Unless you come across a TRUE fan of White Fang. But still...
Haven’t done any research? Normally, White Fang is well-known. By looking a bit, I think you’ll find the answers and it will take less time (rather than waiting for the miraculous person) :-)

PS
It’s a bit difficult to answer all the questions without having read the book!

SUMMARY
White Fang (1906) is a novel by American writer Jack London. The story begins before White Fang's birth, a wolf-dog. The novel follows the pack from which he comes and his first weeks of wild life, his struggle for survival; eat or be eaten. Then he experiences life with the Native Americans; his master is named Gray Beaver. He encounters other dogs and becomes enemies with them, Lip-lip being his rival. But White Fang, proud and powerful, suffers from the cruelty of white men; in response, he becomes a fierce fighter. The story then takes a darker turn as he is sold to Beauty Smith to become a fighting beast. He wins every fierce duel until the day he must fight a bulldog, Cherokee. About to lose, two men then stop the fight: Weedon Scott, a mining engineer, and his friend Matt. He is then rescued and saved from the mistreatment of this "mad god." Finally, through the patience of his new masters, he discovers "love" and "friendship" between a wolf and his master. The story ends when White Fang starts his family with a female dog named Collie.
