Description
Enjoy this copy of "Life and Times of Mrs. Lucy G. Thurston, Wife of Rev. Asa Thurston, Pioneer Missionary to the Sandwich Islands." Published by S.C. Andrews in 1882, this classic account of the missionary work in the Hawaiian Islands was "gathered from letters and journal extending over a period of more than 50 years selected and arranged by herself." Thurston arrived in Hawaii in 1820 and died there in 1876, and this book provides a great deal of detail about life in Hawaii as well as the work of the missionaries.
There are minor imperfections, but this book is still in good condition.
