OVER ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD The life story of Ishi, the Yahi Indian, lone survivor of a doomed tribe, is unique in the annals of North American anthropology. For more than forty years, Theodora Kroeber's biography has been sharing this tragic and absorbing drama with readers all over the world. Ishi stumbled into the twentieth century on the morning of August 29, 1911, when, desperate with hunger and with terror of the white murderers of his family, he was found in the corral of a slaughter house near Oroville, California. Finally identified as an Indian by an anthropologist, Ishi was brought to San Francisco by Professor T. T. Waterman and lived there the rest of his life under the care and protection of Alfred Kroeber and the staff of the University of California's Museum of Anthropology.

Seller's Description:
Good in poor dust jacket. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. 262 p. Audience: General/trade. This hardback book is in amazingly good condition. Pages are very clean and unmarked with a few very small smudges at outside edges. The spine is in good shape with no loose pages. The d/j however is not so good. It is 95% intact (2 inches along the bottom spine are ripped off) and the spine is stained with what appears to be water. But most of the d/j is there, but faded with age and not very attractive.
