Ishi was found in 1911...do you happen to knwo when he died and exactly what he died from...

He died from TB about four-years after emerging from the wilderness--in between, he worked as a janitor for the museum.

I remember that he considered the flush toilet a clever invention.

Even as early as 1911, people were almost as astonished to see him come out of the bushes as we would be to see a Moose come out of the bushes in Manhattan's Central Park.

I read that book so many decades ago, and saw the movie many years ago, so dont really have my dates accurate...thanks for the info...

I also read a book about him (twenty + years ago), but I didn't know they made a movie about him.

(I did see "Trog" with Joan Crawford, though.)

Why not search the web on him (Ishi, not Trog).

Ishi's out there in text and photos.

For the search-challenged, here's one hit:
