<p>"Beginning with the traditional history of the great chief 'Umi and ending with the death of Kamehameha III in 1854, this volume covers the rediscovery of the Hawaiian Islands by Captain James Cook, the consolidation of the Hawaiian Kingdom by Kamehameha I, the coming of missionaries and the changes affecting the kingdom during the first half of the nineteenth century.<br><br>Originally, this history was written by Kamakau in Hawaiian as a series of newspaper articles in the 1860s and 1870s.  The English translation is primarily by Mary Kawena Pakui.  It offers more than a record of past events.  It presents a scholarly interpretation of those events by a Hawaiian historian writing for Hawaiians about their culture and disappearing customs. . ."</p>
