Book Description
Features the translated Hawaiian language writings of Samuel Mānaiakalani Kamakau (October 29, 1815 - September 5, 1876) that were published in the Hawaiian language newspapers Ka Nupepa Kuokoa and Ke Au Okoa throughout the period of 1850-70. The translation of this book began with a group of Hawaiian translators and scholars selected by the trustees of the Bishop Museum. They were Mary Kawena Pukui, Thomas G. Thrum, Lahilahi Webb, Emma Davidson Taylor, and John Wise. Once the translations were assembled, Mary Kawena Pukui reviewed the translation for cohesion. Martha Warren Beckwith, in collaboration with Mary Kawena Pukui, added most of the notes with the Museum staff assisting with further notes. Dr. Alexander Spoehr indexed the book. Dorothy Barrere and Caroline Curtis proofread the manucript. The introduction is by Alexander Spoehr (Director of Bishop Museum) and Acknowledgements by Harold W. Kent (President of The Kamehameha Schools). This book constitutes a history of Hawaii's ruling class and reveals the role of ali'i nui and kaukau ali'i in shaping the Hawaiian Lāhui.

Book Description
Here finally is a readable, thoroughly researched, and generously illustrated history of the island of Kauai. Edward Joesting tells for the first time the story of one of the most intriguing and least known of the Hawaiian Islands. His account begins with the prehistoric origins of the island and concludes with the annexation of Hawaii in 1898. Kauai describes the early emergence of Kauai as an island separate and distinctive from the other islands of Hawaii. It recounts the coming of Western man, the failure of King Kamehameha to conquer the island, and the ultimate incorporation of the island into the Hawaiian kingdom. Joesting also includes in his story the destructive impact of the sandalwood and whaling trades, and the subsequent rise of an economy based on sugar cultivation. His story comes to an end with the demise of the Hawaiian monarchy and the quiet revolution that occurred when Hawaii became a territory of the United States. Historical documents not previously used bring new information and fresh perspectives to this book. The result is a level-headed, engaging look at Kauai. Kauai: The Separate Kingdom is certain to become the authoritative history of the island long regarded by many as the most beautiful in the Hawaiian archipelago.
