Description

"The Kingdom of Hawaii"


By H.R. Hays


This book is a first edition. Copyright 1964.


Excerpt from jacket: "The Kingdom of Hawaii tells the history of the islands from the warlike exploits of the first King Kamehameha, who united his people, to the death of Queen Liliuokalani, last of the royal Hawaiians, in 1917. Mr. Hays describes in detail how the old Hawaiians lived: their houses and their food, their wonderful sailing canoes, the elaborate rituals of their religion and the complicated magical system of kapu that ruled every part of their lives."
