Synopsis
After the Yahi were massacred in the mid-nineteenth century, Ishi survived alone for decades in the mountains of northern California, wearing skins and hunting with bow and arrow. His capture in 1911 made him a national sensation; anthropologist Alfred Kroeber declared him the world's most "uncivilized" man and made Ishi a living exhibit in his museum. Thousands came to see the displaced Indian before his death, of tuberculosis. Ishi's Brain follows Orin Starn's gripping quest for the remains of the last of the Yahi.

Review
"By leaving the nuances and complexities in the story, Starn has completed the transformation of Ishi--from man, to legend, and now, at last, back into mortal man again."
Synopsis
An anthropologist retraces his steps in a remarkable journey to locate the brain of Ishi--the "last Indian" of California who became a national icon of dying Native American culture when he was captured in 1911--and his struggle to repatriate the remains. Reprint. 10,000 first printing.
