History of the Hawaiian or Sandwich Islands is a comprehensive account of the history, culture, and traditions of the Hawaiian Islands, written by James Jackson Jarves. The book covers the period from the arrival of the first Polynesian settlers to the annexation of the islands by the United States in 1898. It describes the social and political organization of the Hawaiian people, their customs and beliefs, and their interactions with foreign explorers and traders. The book also provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893, including the role of American missionaries and businessmen in the islands' affairs. Jarves draws extensively on primary sources, including Hawaiian-language documents and oral traditions, to provide a rich and nuanced portrait of this unique and fascinating culture. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of Hawaii or the Pacific Islands.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
