Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hawaiian America: Something of Its History, Resources, and Prospects Hawaii has been recently the subject of so many books that perhaps I should apologize for adding one more to the number. Yet I offend - if offence it be - deliberately, and I offer no excuse for so doing. I went to the islands to study their industrial, social, and political status, and became acquainted with conditions with which I believe all Americans should be made familiar. It has not been my purpose to produce either a history of or a tourists´ guide to the Hawaiian Islands, but rather to give a fair idea of the islands and their people, their character and their industries, their resources and their prospects. For many of the statistics in this book I am indebted to Mr. Thomas G. Thrum, the Hawaiian authority, and for the photographs of the various ancient implements I make my acknowledgments to Professor W. T. Brigham, Curator of the Bishop Museum at Honolulu.
