About this ebook

The legends are of a little archipelago which was unknown to the civilized world until the closing years of the last century, and of a people who for many centuries exchanged no word or product with the rest of mankind; who had lost all knowledge, save the little retained by the dreamiest of legends, of the great world beyond their island home; whose origin may be traced to the ancient Cushites of Arabia, and whose legends repeat the story of the Jewish genesis; who developed and passed through an age of chivalry somewhat more barbarous, perhaps, but scarcely less affluent in deeds of enterprise and valor than that which characterized the contemporaneous races of the continental world; whose chiefs and priests claimed kinship with the gods, and step by step told back their lineage not only to him who rode the floods, but to the sinning pair whose re-entrance to the forfeited joys of Paradise was prevented by the large, white bird of Kane ; who fought without shields and went to their death without fear; whose implements of war and industry were of wood, stone and bone, yet who erected great temples to their gods, and constructed barges and canoes which they navigated by the stars; who peopled the elements with spirits, reverenced the priesthood, bowed to the revelations of their prophets, and submitted without complaint to the oppressions of the tabu ; who observed the rite of circumcision, built places of refuge after the manner of the ancient Israelites, and held sacred the religious legends of the priests and chronological meles of the chiefs.

David Kalakaua

David Kalākaua (1836-1891), also known as The Merrie Monarch, was the king of Hawaii from 1874 to his death. Born into a noble family, he was educated at the Chiefs' Children's School. He later studied law under Charles Coffin Harris, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Hawaii. Kalākaua held multiple military positions including Knight Companion of the Royal Order. Following the death of King Kamehameha V, Kalākaua was elected his successor against Queen Emma. Throughout his reign, he was known for his lively social events and was a proponent of the Hawaiian Renaissance, a resurgence of the island’s culture.
