American Anthropologist
A most remarkable biography . . . . It is also a real source book of central California ethnology and a detailed record of this example of acculturation which is in most respects without equal in today's anthropological literature.
New York Times
A book that all Americans should read.
Los Angeles Times
One of the most moving, tragic and ultimately triumphant human stories I have ever read.
New Yorker
[A] beautiful and compelling book . . . . Highly recommended.
San Francisco Chronicle
A highly original literary work and a great human story.
Washington Post
Ishi's story is one of the most remarkable in the annals of Indians on this continent, and Mrs. Kroeber tells it with an integrity and insight that raises it to the level of history which is also art.
Atlantic Monthly
Remarkably lively and interesting.
Chicago Tribune
Absolutely fascinating.
San Francisco Examiner
This magnificent biography of the lone survivor of the Yahi Indians shows man at his best.
Christian Science Monitor
A moving, poetic document.
