This is the classic, dare I say definitive, telling of the Ishi story. I read it long ago and it kept with me for quite a while. I remember being quite impressed how they could read the accounts of whites of contacts with Ishi's family before his "surrender" with Ishi's story later.

Originally written in 1961, published by UC Berkeley, this is considered by some to be the definitive account of Ishi. I read it 35 years ago, it was fascinating, the author was able to compare Ishi's stories to events from the settlers' point of view.
