"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 Many terms and descriptions are outdated as a product of the time period, but for the most part Mrs.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.
