Ishi: Last of His Tribe

In the early 1900s a small band of California Indians in the Yahi tribe lived in concealment, resisting the fate that had all but wiped out their people -- violent death by the invading gold seekers and settlers. In time, members of the small group died, until there remained a single survivor -- the man who became known as Ishi. This book tells the haunting, heroic story of Ishi -- the boy, the man, the lone survivor of his tribe.Kroeber, Theodora is the author of 'Ishi: Last of His Tribe', published 1964 under ISBN 9780395276440 and ISBN 0395276446.
