Prior to the African trip, Dr. Pope wrote a book on archeryhunting which has been the inspiration of the recent surgeforward in this sport. In this book Dr. Pope tells the storyof Ishi, the last wild American Indian.
He says that in 1872 white emigrants fought a terriblebattle with a tribe of Yana Indians near Mt. Lassen in Cali-fornia. This tribe was all but wiped out; the few survivorswere hounded from place to place until a lone descendantremained. In 1911 he was found hiding on a ranch in astarved and crazed condition.
He was identified by Dr. Watterman, an anthropologist at-tached to the University of California, as belonging to a littleknown and, presumably, extinct tribe known as Yanas.
