Ishi's Journey from the Center to the Edge of the World

<p>This historical novel is the dramatic retelling of the true story of Ishi the last stone age man in North America and the sole survivor of the Northern California tribe called the Yahi. <em>Ishi's Journey from the Center to the Edge of the World</em> is a story of heartbreak and hope akin to the Anne Frank saga and the sequestering of her family during the Nazi regime.

We knew many things and much that is false. He knew nature which is always true. His were the qualities of character that last forever. He was kind; he had courage and self-restraint and though all had been taken from him there was no bitterness in his heart. His soul was that of a child his mind that of a philosopher.</p>
