There are as well books and articles having to do only in part with Ishi and his people. There are letters bearing on our subject, newspaper accounts, and pictures, of which we include significant examples. Anderson, are reprinted in full the others, only those parts having to do with Ishi and the Yahi.
These are usually in small editions, long out of print. Next in interest and importance are the books of reminiscences concerning the Yahi Indians written by white settlers in or adjacent to Yahi country in the years following closely upon the gold rush. Most of these monographs are here reprinted in full. Of first importance are monographs on Ishi, his people, his languages, his medical history, whose authors are Professors Thomas T. For the reader who wishes to know something of the sources from which the story flows, there are reproduced here the principal out-of-print and most inaccessible primary materials on Ishi and the Yahi Indians.
From the Introduction by Theodora Kroeber, Editor:The number of documents having to do with Ishi is finite.
