Na Lani Kaumaka: Daughters of Hawai`i (A Century of Historic
Preservation), by Barbara Del Piano
This is the story of the first hundred years of the Daughters of Hawai`i,
and is illustrated with more than a hundred images. It records the struggles
and successes of the early years of the organization, and offers a rich
history of the seven founding members (all missionary descendants). Concerned
by the disintegration of traditional Hawai`ian culture, these remarkable
women dedicated themselves to “perpetuating the memory and spirit
of Old Hawai`i and preserving the nomenclature and correct pronunciation
of the Hawai`ian language.” The Daughters of Hawai`i laid the
groundwork for the preservation of the historic and cultural sites with
which the Daughters of Hawai`i is now associated: the scene of the
Battle of Nu`uanu, Queen Emma Summer Palace in Nu`uanu, Hulihe`e
Palace in Kailua-Kona, and Kukaniloko, a scared birthing site on O`ahu.

Hawai`ian Furniture and Hawai`i’s Cabinetmakers, by Irving
Jenkins, photographs by Michael D. Horikawa
Despite the unique and colorful history of furniture making in Hawai`i,
very few people have written about or illustrated the rich blend of style
aesthetics that it possesses. This book explores the histories of the
many craftsmen who created Hawai`ian furniture, and offers a historical
survey of the art form. Beginning in the native forests with the loggers
and sawyers, this beautifully illustrated book describes the lives of
the early missionaries, masterful European craftsmen, and carpenters and
cabinetmakers of Hawai`ian plantations. Combined with over 300 illustrations
(most of which are color), this is the story of a love for an aspect of
Hawai`i that has never before been presented in such a thorough
way.
PRICE: $59.95 (hardcover) TAX: $2.40 (4%)

The Hawai`ian Monarchy, by Allan Seiden
Millennia before Western contact, canoe-borne Polynesians reached the
Islands across vast distances of Pacific Ocean and created a Hawai`ian
culture that was distinctive, vibrant, self-reliant, and sophisticated;
this book tells the story of the foundation of what would eventually become
the Hawai`ian Kingdom. These personal stories of the ancient Hawai`ian monarchy,
rich with intrigue, explore clashes between world powers, the arrival
of the missionaries, the effects of foreign diseases, and the massive
cultural transformations that followed.

Next Stop Honolulu! The Story of the Oahu Railway and Land Company,
by Jim Chiddix and MacKinnon Simpson
When Benjamin Franklin Dillingham fell off a rented horse, the history
of modern Hawai`i was changed forever. Dillingham, a first mate
on the docked ship Whistler, was carried to a hospital to heal, and was
forced ashore for good, as his ship sailed off without him. Dillingham
went on to marry a missionary daughter and start the Oahu Railway and
Land Company, which would eventually trundle both freight and passengers
around Oahu for 60 years. This book is the story of that line.
