This textbook is written from the perspective of both oral and written accounts of Samoan history. It covers the geographical formation, historical inhabitation, and development of American Samoa through legends, geography, and timelines that help span a time period beginning with the earliest signs of human integration to today's modern setting.

Book Description
"The narrative which follows was prepared at the request of Senator Hiram Bingham, of Connecticut, chairman of the American Samoan Commission, by the two newspapermen who accompanied the commission on its trip from Honolulu to Samoa. Its purpose is not so much to record the work of the commission from the standpoint of what may have been accomplished, but to recount all the essential details of what transpired during the visit of the commission to Samoa"--Preface.

Book Description
This book is a researched study of land issues in American Sāmoa that analyzes the impact of U.S. colonialism and empire building in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Carefully tracing changes in land laws up to the present, this volume also draws on a careful examination of legal traditions, administrative decisions, court cases and rising tensions between indigenous customary land tenure practices in American Sāmoa and Western notions of individual private ownership. It also highlights how unusual the status of American Sāmoa is in its relationship with the U.S., namely as the only “unincorporated” and “unorganized” overseas territory, and aims to expand the U.S. empire-building scholarship to include and recognize American Sāmoa into the vernacular of Americanization projects.
