The others include "Trade Routes and Economic Exchange Among the Indians of California by James T. Davis and "Original Account of the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island," edited by Robert F. Heiser, who writes the preface to the volume, and Albert B. Elsasser. Alfred Kroeber studied with Franz Boas before making his name at UC Berkeley where he became known as the "Dean of American Anthropologists." Theodora met him as doctoral student there and was herself an accomplished anthropologist, publishing later in life, among other books, The Inland Whale and Ishi in Two Worlds, which tells the story of the last Yahi man who Alfred befriend and studied after her was brought to Berkeley. Ursula LeGuin is their daughter. A very good book in simple yellow wraps with some spots of shallow insect damage to front cover, a few drip marks to rear. A unique family association copy. …
