"This 6.375 x 9.25 inch, 255 page hardcover book with dust wrapper is the 1961 first edition of this title with the statement "Second Printing, November, 1961" shown on the copyright page.

The edges and corners are As New … and there is no wear or markings showing throughout the text pages.

The price of $5.95 is unclipped on the inside flap.

The story of Ishi itself is a fascinating and poignant one and the book uses a 30-page block of black-and-white photographic illustrations included in the center of the text block. The book was written by Theodora Kroeber - who was the second wife of Alfred Kroeber - who was the chairman of the Department of Anthropology at the University of California at Berkeley where the native American Ishi would come to spend the last four years of his life. The book stands today as a California classic.".…
