Ishi in Three Centuries brings together a range of insightful and unsettling perspectives and the latest research to enrich and personalize our understanding of one of the most famous Native Americans of the modern era--Ishi, the last Yahi. After decades of concealment from genocidal attacks on his people in California, Ishi (ca. 1860-1916) came out of hiding in 1911 and lived the last five years of his life in the University of California Anthropological Museum in San Francisco. Contributors to this volume illuminate Ishi the person, his relationship to anthropologist A. L. Kroeber and others, his Yahi world, and his enduring and evolving legacy for the twenty-first century. Ishi in Three Centuries features recent analytic translations of Ishi's stories, new information on his language, craft skills, and his personal life in San Francisco, with reminiscences of those who knew him and A. L. Kroeber. Multiple sides of the repatriation controversy are showcased and given equal weight. Especially valuable are discussions by Native American writers and artists, including Gerald Vizenor, Louis Owens, and Frank Tuttle, of how Ishi continues to inspire the creative imagination of American Indians.

Streak free and quick drying. Big and pricy but worth it.
Size: 1 Pack (24" x 36")
Great for drying off your car especially in places where the water pools. Streak free and covers a lot of area. It’s big and versatile- it would work as a pet drying towel too. Soft and good quality. Great gift for a car buff. Not cheap but man does it cut down on drying time.

Great size, super soft, and extremely efficient.
Size: 1 Pack (24" x 36")
Love this drying towel. It’s super soft, super efficient and cuts my dry time in half. The size is perfect for my car as it covers most of my roof making it really easy and quick to dry the whole car. It’s also super absorbent and definitely worth every penny.
