About this product

Product Information

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 by Theodora Kroeber ( 1961)
I wanted to find out about "Ishi",how he and his people lived and where and how they lived. It's a great eye opening window into the not so distant past.This is a great book, easy to follow and understand. I live in the west side of the valley, & I see those hills,mountains and creeks they called home everyday. We hunt deer every year in "Ishi's" home land, so this year after our hunting trip, I bought as many books as I could find on "Ishi". This is the first book I have read and I really have enjoy it. It does make me ashamed of our "white" people and the way we messed up the "Yahi Indian World". The Yahi for hundreds of years knew how to live with the land without destroying it. If you would like some insight into the Yahi Indians & Ishi you will love this book. It has answered a lot of my questions and more.Read full review

Memories
I worked at Olivet Memorial Park in Colma, CA. We showcased and inurned The hand made Urn of Ishi the last Yahi Indian. I would open and close the Columbarium on Saturdays and Sundays. I always walked by his niche. It was eye level and big black stone. Hand etched the word ISHI Caputal Letters. Always a broken arrow in the niche vase. I remember the day we got the letter for his removal and relocated to the University of Berkeley. Thank you for the book.

Ishi Da Man
A comprehensive look at a survival virus of a brutal existence who lived to inform us of how life used to be before the European invasion and who was a treasure trove of how life used to be and sadly is no more. Extremely well researched and written
