About the author Bill Anderson was born in 1944 to parents Chester and Mary Anderson, and grew up in the little town of Krebs in southeastern Oklahoma.
His story, his legend, will live on in the lives and hearts of generations to come.
Faced with the challenges Ishi endured, few if any of us today could have survived.
My purpose for adding this one is to tell his story in a non-fiction novel style, relating his characteristics, his humor, his warmth, his tenderness toward everyone, especially children, his fears and doubts, but most especially, his strong character and will to survive.
A number of volumes have been written about Ishi during the course of the past century.
Miraculously, he survived alone for three more years, ultimately surrendering himself to the whites in August 1911.
Ishi\'s mother soon died, and Ishi was left alone.
The surveyors plundered the village, taking everything they needed for survival.
His ailing aged mother was left at the back of the cave where she was covered with blankets.
The old uncle and sister disappeared over a cliff and were never seen again.
The Oro Light and Power Company surveyors stumbled right into Ishi\'s village.
Then, in 1908, the tiny village was discovered.
Ishi, his ailing mother, uncle, and sister lived out the remainder of their lives, sustaining themselves by whatever meager resources were available.
It was called "Wowunupo\'mu\'tetna," \'Bear\'s Hiding Place\'.
For decades this small clan hid out in seclusion in the recesses of a small village beneath a high cliff covered with trees, hidden by a growth of dense brush.
The amazing story of how his small family, his clan, could have survived undetected by the whites for more than forty years is indeed mind-boggling.
