Wild Men is terrific,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wild Men: Ishi and Kroeber in the Wilderness of Modern America (New Narratives in American History) (Hardcover)
Sackman has taken a well know story and crafted it into a marvelous excursion into the lives of two fascinating individuals. Along the way his story takes many highways and byways, bringing together a wealth of information and insights into turn-of-the century San Francisco,, native American history, the study of anthropology, train travel, and so much more. A fascinating read, highlighted by numerous photos.

Introduced my Mother-in-Law to Ishi,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wild Men: Ishi and Kroeber in the Wilderness of Modern America (New Narratives in American History) (Hardcover)
Got to talking to my Mom-in-Law about an article about Ishi in TRADITIONAL BOWHUNTER, which she read in its entirety. She is from that area of California and didn't know the story, which she found fascinating. Ended up buying her a couple of Ishi books for Christmas. If you're a serious student of the subject you'll consider the original books "foundational", as they show the cultural biases of the period. Still spellbinding reading.
