Añadir al carritoSoftcover. First edition. Stated second printing, but the preface makes it sound like it may be a new edition, a first thus. An association copy, inscribed on the first blank: "For Stookie, with love, Krakie." This inscription is from Theodora Kroeber to her grandson (Krakie her grandmother name; her maiden named was Kracaw, so…perhaps slant of that). An uncommon book uniquely signed. Of the three studies included, one is by her husband, famous cultural anthropologist Alfred (A.L.) Kroeber, "The Nature of Land-Holding Groups in Aboriginal California"--thus the reason for the gift to her grandson. A.L. Kroeber had died in 1960. 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.
