Clark Company Date: 1982 Description: 420 pp. Twenty-seven illustrations and portraits, bibliography, footnotes and index. (8vo) 9¼x6¼", green natural linen, two-color printed dust jacket. First Edition. "The most important work on Hawaiian history to be published in years, this biography of Liliuokalani starkly reveals the usurpation of Hawaii from the native Hawaiians, and the entire period of missionary and foreign encroachment in the Islands." Publication prospectus. "Liliuokalani was the last ruling monarch of Hawaii, and was overthrown by a provisional government composed, primarily, of descendants of the early protestant missionaries and other American immigrants. Her role in Hawaiian history, as well as a vivid portrait of life in the islands during the nineteenth century, make this a valuable item of Hawaiiana. Mrs. Allen had access to documentary source material which had been withheld from prior scholars." Clark & Brunet, 68. Publication prospectus and order card laid in.
