An Island God: A Tale Of The First Kamehameha is a historical fiction novel written by Gurdon S. Mumford and published in 1907. It tells the story of the legendary Hawaiian king, Kamehameha I, who united the Hawaiian Islands under his rule in the late 18th century. The novel is set during the early years of Kamehameha's reign and focuses on his struggle to maintain his power in the face of opposition from rival chiefs and European colonizers.The story is told through the eyes of a young American sailor named Jack Norton, who is shipwrecked on the island of Hawaii and taken in by Kamehameha's people. Norton becomes a close friend and advisor to Kamehameha, helping him to navigate the complex political landscape of the islands and fend off attacks from his enemies.In addition to the fictional narrative, the book also includes an extensive historical sketch of the Hawaiian Islands, providing readers with a detailed overview of the region's geography, culture, and politics. Mumford draws on a variety of sources to paint a vivid picture of life in Hawaii during the 18th century, including accounts from European explorers, Hawaiian oral traditions, and his own observations as a resident of the islands.Overall, An Island God is an engaging and informative work of historical fiction that offers readers a unique perspective on the life and times of one of Hawaii's most legendary figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
