Kroeber was the one who found Ishi, the last surviving member of his tribe still living off the land. Kroeber is himself a legend among the early University of California professors interested in Native American culture and language, and this particular volume is surprising detail of linguistic analysis for this period. I have several of these paperbound journals produced by the University of California at Berkeley Press featuring in this case American Archeology and Ethnology, but also Zoological reports in similar format, and find them extraordinary scholarship of all time. Must have for the California Native American Library. ( )
