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.

"Ishi in Two Worlds" is a bitter-sweet account of a man's journey from the stone age to civilization so he would not die alone. He faces his new world with a determination to accept what he cannot change. In a time when most people would view him as a circus sideshow, he had the great fortune to come under the protection, and friendship, of Professor Kroeber and his associates. Many terms and descriptions are outdated as a product of the time period, but for the most part Mrs. Kroeber has presented Ishi's story in a dignified manner.
