Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lecture and Sketches of Life on the Sandwich Islands: And Hawaiian Travel and Scenery The Hawaiian Islands (false called Sandwich), are situated in North Latitude, between the parallels of nineteen and twenty-one degrees, and West Longitude, one hundred and fifty-six. They are 2,200 miles from San Francisco and being in the ocean highway between the northwest coast of North America and the English colonies of New Zealand and Australia and the rich countries of Asia, they are of great and growing importance to the interest of commerce. Their number is eight. Their total area is 7,060 square miles. Their names are Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, Lanai, Oahu, Kaui, Niihau and Kahoolaui. They were originally peopled by one of the most peculiar races that ever inhabited the earth, in fact their like is not on the earth. They believe that they were created on the Islands, the name of their creator was Wakea, but as our bible gives no account of Wakea, we are compelled to go back to former ages. All of the northern part of the American Continent bears unmistakable signs of a pre-historic civilized race who cut the mighty roadways through the mountains of Arizona; some of these roadways are a hundred miles in length and in places a mile in depth. Who build the immense canals that water the plains and valleys west of the River Gilla? Who build the houses that were found in the clefts bordering on these canals and discovered over three hundred years ago by the Spaniards?
