Hawaii
Author: James Mitchner
Publisher: Fawcett
Date this edition was published: September 12, 1986
Number of Pages: 1056
Dimensions: 6.9 x 4.2 x 1.6 inches
DESCRIPTION:
This epic historic novel is an entertaining,
fictionalized, chronological history
of Hawaii, with each chapter covering a different
time period, significant event, or ethnic group.
The chapters are almost a stand-alone books in themselves,
but the stories are interwoven together, and if you read each
one carefully you will notice
characters, or descendents of characters from previous
chapters. There is some debate - especially among
native Hawaiians - about the historic accuracy of
Mitchner's Hawaii, but this still a highly entertaining tale
that will give you a general introduction to Hawaiian
history, and how and why each of the different ethnic
groups - including the original Hawaiians - immigrated to the islands.
