Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Life on the Ocean: Autobiography
A comprehensive history of Hawaii has yet to be written. Its compilation will involve a vast amount of investigation and study, as the material is scattered through governmental and court records, private correspondence and journals, news papers and magazine articles; while many matters, especially regarding the events leading up to annexation, rest in the personal and unwritten knowledge of leading participants.
Alexander's History, written for public school purposes, the best Hawaiian history now available, is necessarily condensed.
Other books bearing upon various phases of Hawaiian life, were issued in limited editions, and moreover, are mostly out of print.
