Ishi in Two Worlds: A Biography of the Last Wild Indian in North America by Theodora Kroeber

3.0

This is the story of Ishi, meaning man, the last "Wild Man" to survive the white man's extermination of Indians in Northern California. While part one is hard to read, if you're sensitive to the eradication of a people; part two is an insight into the man who came to embrace his situation like few could. It's a really beautiful story, well told, taking into consideration it was published in 1961 and uses hearsay and tales along with first-hand accounts.
