Ishi's Return Home: The 1914 Anthropological Expedition Story

By Richard L. Burrill

Ishi's Return Home: The 1914 Anthropological Expedition Story, 2014, is the "expanded" Ishi report that renowned anthropologist Alfred L. Kroeber never published in his lifetime. All ten original sketch maps and daily field note records were retrieved from the Bancroft Library and reorganized as part of an engaging Ishi narrative. Returning with Ishi to his old haunts on Deer Creek and Mill Creek is truly a unique, adventure story. Will Ishi be able to deal with his demons and ghosts and the great sadness and trials of his recent past? Includes several rare and beguiling 1914 photographs by Kroeber and Saxton Pope of Ishi in his remote, ancestral homeland. Learn some of the secret ways Ishi and four others of his tiny band of Yahi-Yana survived, while staying "invisible," for twenty-two years longer than Geronimo's band of Apaches.
