The life story of Ishi, the Yahi Indian, lone survivor of a doomed tribe, is unique in the annals of North American anthropology. It is also a tragic and absorbing drama that forms part of our own heritage of the land. Ishi stumbled into the twentieth century on the morning of August 29, 1911, when, desperate with hunger and in terror of the white murderers of his family, he was found in the corral of a slaughter house near Oroville, California. He had wandered in exhaustion from his native hills down to this valley town in search of food. Promptly labeled a wild man by the townspeople, and carried off for safe-keeping to the local jail, he was finally identified as an Indian by an anthropologist from the University. Ishi was brought to San Francisco by Professor T. T. Waterman and lived there the rest of his life under the care and protection of the staff of the University of California's Museum of Anthropology. He was about fifty years of age when discovered, and ultimately was given the name Ishi - his own Yahi word for man - by professor Alfred Louis Kroeber. The first part of the book is a reconstructed life of Ishi in the world he was born into, that same world in which his people lived for centuries before the white man came to dispossess the Indian. The years of Ishi's childhood and most of his manhood were the fear-ridden times of the Yahi's hopeless struggle for existence. Ishi's second world endured for a mere five years, but it was a happier world for him than his first. He lived content with his good friends in the Museum and in continual wonderment at the white man's ways. We are given a full account of those years: Ishi's daily activities, his pastimes and pleasures. The story this book tells is an unusual and engrossing one and the manner of its telling will surely put it in the forefront of our literature about the American Indian. Ishi was, to one of his white friends, the most remarkable personality of his century. All this and more Mrs. Kroeber has vividly imparted to the reader.

This book is a genealogical database and family history of 6,897 members of the Graham Family, consisting of David Graham and his three children who arrived in Charleston South Carolina on the ship Pennsylvania Farmer in 1772, and their descendants. Also explained is the history of the Graham Family Name. This book includes the History of Scot-Irish Immigration, the factors that caused them to move from Scotland to Northern Ireland and then the factors that caused five boatloads of 1,100 settlers, which included the Graham Family, to arrive in the Port of Charleston South Carolina in 1772. Upon arrival, the Grahams and other new arrivals almost immediately joined in the fighting on the American side in the American Revolutionary War. This Graham genealogy is the result of almost fifteen years of research and was begun tentatively by each of the authors before they begun corresponding in 1983. Since then, the genealogical facts have acquired mainly by plodding persistence, though sometimes by luck. Always the acquisition has been accompanied by a feeling of pleasure in learning something new about the Grahams. Many miles have been driven in pursuit of the facts, many letters exchanged, but also many new friends have been made for which the authors are grateful.

The "Elephant Game" as it is called by the Chinese, dates back more than 2000 years. A cousin of Western Chess, its unique style of play results in a wide-open, quick-moving and aggressive contest. Chinese Chess for Beginners explains both the rules and the strategies of the game clearly and in detail so that you can start playing right away. It covers everything from the opening through the endgame. The book includes a set of paper chessmen that you can cut out and begin to play right away.

How to Talk Dirty in Japanese and English the result of years of scholarly research in which the two academic investigators interviewed the most foul-mouthed and mean spirited persons they could find in order to collect the most obscene commonly used expressions in either language. This book is must reading for anybody who wants to cuss-out somebody in either language. More importantly, it is required reading for any student of either language, because the expressions used in this book are not to be found in any other book. This is a bi-lingual book. Every word and phrase in either language is converted into an equivalent term in the other language. Anybody not prepared to be offended should not read this book. This book goes as far as it gets. Topics include not only the most familiar obscenities, but many others. There are special sections dealing with Niggers, Coons, Queers, Dykes and Japs. The authors also dispense advice concerning sexual techniques and the dangers facing Japanese who visit America. The authors are Eli Eshoh and Fukuyama Hiroaki. Eli Eshoh is a Ugandan academic residing in Japan and known for his contributions to number theory. His works have been translated into Russian and other languages. Fukuyama Hiroaki is a retired doctor who learned English while attending the University of California at Berkeley. Because of its offensive, racist and sexist language, this book will cause great outrage, but is destined to become regarded as one of the greatest contributions ever to the deep understanding of American English and Japanese.
