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

5.0

This was fantastically good. Drawing on source material from the late 1800s to 1910s, and written in the late 1950s, it could easily have fallen into the tropes of its day. However, the language used is surprisingly modern in tone (the title being drawn from a source quote), and Ishi is neither glorified nor stigmatized. The author manages to write about him objectively without making him an object of study. I highly recommend it.
