Book Description
Reprints the 1951 chronicle of the early years of the first Protestant mission in the Islands, including the life and times of Elisha and Maria Loomis in their seven arduous but triumphant years as missionaries to the Sandwich Isles. The author (the Loomis' granddaughter) remarked that the book was meant to be "an authentic and accurate story, using some of the techniques of fiction to give it pace and vividness for the general reader." The appendices comprise a description of personages as well as a glossary of Hawaiian words. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
