Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Trip to Hawaii Many things have happened in the little island country of Hawaii, set far out in the wide Pacific, since 1885, the year when Charles Warren Stoddard visited it and wrote "A Trip to Hawaii," still the best known and most admired book on these isles of the Blessed. His tender and sympathetic insight into the tropic people and all their concerns, his keen enjoyment and appreciation of all the varied phases of the delightful journey, his artist's eye to see and artist's hand to picture forth the beautiful aspects of nature where nature is most prodigal of her charms, all unite to make his writings on Hawaii dear to every one that loves the beautiful in nature and in literary art. But American influences had grown so prominent in Island affairs that events have moved with American swiftness even in that languorous and lovely land. The native dynasty in this sweep of events has fallen, and the manner of its fall, although the matter of much heated controversy, first gave the power into the hands of the white population, and then extinguished Hawaii as a separate government altogether. No longer does Queen Liliuokalani hold her strangely mixed court, where the ancient royal robes aa feathers were draped about shoulders clad in garments cut in the Parisian mode. No longer are the stately kahilis waved in pomp over the sovereign by attendants dressed in the conventional claw-hammer coat.

Download or read book Our Hawaii Classic Reprint written by Charmian Kittredge London and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Hawaii This book was originally part of the jottings I kept during a two years' cruise of Jack London and myself in the forty-five-foot ketch Snark into the fabulous South Seas, by way of the Hawaiian Islands. The seafaring portion of my notes was published in 1915 as "The Log of the Snark." The record of five months spent in the Paradise of the Pacific, Hawaii, I made into another book, "Our Hawaii," issued in 1917. The present volume is a revision of the other, from which I have eliminated the bulk of personal memoirs, by now incorporated into my "Book of Jack London," a thoroughgoing biography. I have substituted more detail concerning the Territory of Hawaii, and endeavored to bring my subject up to date. Also, instead of making an independent work out of Jack London's three articles, written in 1916, entitled, "My Hawaiian Aloha," I am making them a part of my book, placing them first, because of their peculiar value with regard to vital points of view on Hawaii. These articles, published in 1916 in The Cosmopolitan Magazine, were pronounced by one citizen of Honolulu, eminent under more than two forms of government in the troublous past of the Group, as of a worth to Hawaii not to be estimated in gold and silver. "They don't know what they've got!" Jack London said of the American public, when, in the Snark, he made Hawaii his first port of call, and threw himself into the manifold beauty and wonder of this territory of Uncle Sam.

To cross the Atlant1c had always seemed to me to be a grave undertak ing, but here I was seriously advised to pack my satchel and run down two thousand miles into the Pacific, as if for a day's outing.

Download or read book The Coming Hawaii Classic Reprint written by Joseph King Goodrich and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coming Hawaii It will be noted, when reading the succeeding pages, that the author has followed the example of one group of the other writers about Hawaii. These writers may be divided into two principal classes: those who have little to say which is not praise, and those who condemn entirely. If the present writer has placed himself in the first division, it has been done deliberately and with what is considered ample reason. The Hawaiian archipelago is attractive in almost every way, and its charms are of the kind which grow in number and degree for him whose first impressions were favourable; while even for him who had to admit some disappointment at first, a lengthened sojourn almost invariably transforms this into enthusiasm. There is little to say in the way of introduction to the chapters which follow. The author has been adversely criticised for not venturing into the dangerous field of prophecy when discussing the future of some other countries which have been taken as the subjects of other volumes in this series: China and Mexico, for example. He still believes that he was wise in refraining from all attempts to guess at the political future of those countries, for recent events have more than tended to show how hazardous prophecy would have been.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hawaii IF you go to the crest of the Rocky Mountains, you will see the clouds - the great white warships of the sky - sailing majestically along beneath, and settling down into the valleys and gorges; and you will be awed by the thunder of heaven's cannonade and the rapid play of the lightning. But you Will see the birds flying through and above it all, to sing their songs in the clear blue ether! It was not my intention when I went to Hawaii to write at all about the country, excepting in my private correspondence. My work was of another kind, and was very engrossing and laborious, leaving me nor time nor strength for anything of the sort. When the season of rest and leisure came to me, after seven years, I determined to recollect scenes and incidents, and to put them into book form - but certainly not with the hape of fame or wealth, but partly with the pure intention of speaking an unselfish, an honest, and a truthful word for those along whose road during my long stay, I saw no flowers strewed or garlands thrown, nor even stones removed.

Download or read book Again in Hawaii written by Julius A. Palmer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02-04 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Again in Hawaii: February May 1895 By the liberality and courtesy of the proprietors of the N e'w York Evening Post, there may be found in these pages a record of the expe rience gained on my third visit to Hawaii. My notes on the first occa Sion were published by the Boston Commercial Bulletin; in December 1893, I was engaged by the Daily Evening Transcript, and in 1895 was commissioned by the Evening Post. The first-named residence in Honolulu was years ago, before the destruction of the native mon archy: the later engagements were for three months each, one-third of which time was spent on the route. My work for the Transcript (138 pages, 8vo) was published by the same house from which this is issued; it bore no foot-notes, nor was the matter corrected to make it conformable to the march Of events. Yet there has never been but one statement therein impeached with a semblance of success; this was the connection of one of the original annexation commissioners with certain investments designed for a benevolent purpose by the Queen. Had it not been for positive denial by the person implicated, the matter would have been repeated as originally stated by me on the assertion of those of whom I inquired during my latest visit. But no witness would dare to appear even indirectly in support Of any assertion inimical to those in power.
