The life story of Ishi, the Yahi Indian, lone survivor of a doomed tribe, is unique in the annals of North American anthropology. For more than forty years, Theodora Kroeber’s biography has been sharing this tragic and absorbing drama with readers all over the world.

Ishi stumbled into the twentieth century on the morning of August 29, 1911, when, desperate with hunger and with terror of the white murderers of his family, he was found in the corral of a slaughter house near Oroville, California. Finally identified as an Indian by an anthropologist, Ishi was brought to San Francisco by Professor T. T. Waterman and lived there the rest of his life under the care and protection of Alfred Kroeber and the staff of the University of California’s Museum of Anthropology.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： Ishi是美国原住民雅纳族（Yana people）或称为雅喜群（雅纳语：Yahi）中最后一位为人所知的成员。他自小居于加州，但与族人过着的生活与现代文明几乎没有往来。因外来殖民者对加州原住民持续摧残，他所在的部落持续凋亡；最后，在族人都消失，且找不到食物的情况下，他在1911年现身于拉森火山山脚下。Ishi随人类学家到加利福尼亚大学柏克莱分校后，成为了研究对象及清洁工，并主要生活于旧金山一座学术建筑里。最后他因感染肺结核过世。他的生命经历随后，开始获大量描绘和讨论，其中以本书作者Theodora Kroeber所著的报导传记作品Ishi in Two Worlds最为人所知。(Vincent)
