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.
