He writes of "a one-way street to happy adventure in the South seas; a background of the Polynesian sort, so easy-going and laughter-provoking on the surface, so tragic at its end; green valleys barred with rainbows, and windswept palis."He write of Robert Lois Stevenson, who found peace in the iridescent Hawaiian Isles; of Mark Twain, who wrote, "No alien land in all the world has any deep strong charm for me but that one." On the tragic side , he includes a very vivid description of the Battle of Kealakekua Bay, in which Captain Cook was killed.More than thirty fine photographs and maps embellish and enhance this charming contribution to Hawaiian literature and Americana.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
