Sample Book Insights:
#1 I was born in 1838 near the Punch-Bowl, which was the background of the city of Honolulu. My father's name was Kapaakea, and my mother was Keohokalole. The hospital building was constructed in 1860, and very near it, on September 2, 1838, I was born.
#2 The abundance of the chief was not procured by the poverty of his followers. The chief was always surrounded by hundreds of his own people, who looked to him for sustenance.
#3 I was sent to the Royal School when I was four years old. It was a boarding school, the pupils being allowed to return to their homes during vacation time. The family life was made agreeable to us, and our instructors were especially concerned with teaching us the proper use of the English language.
#4 I was taken from my own parents and adopted by Paki and Konia, or about two months thereafter. A child was born to Kinau. That little babe was the Princess Victoria, two of whose brothers became sovereigns of the Hawaiian people.

#1

I was born in 1838 near the Punch-Bowl, which was the background of the city of Honolulu. My father's name was Kapaakea, and my mother was Keohokalole. The hospital building was constructed in 1860, and very near it, on September 2, 1838, I was born.

#2

The abundance of the chief was not procured by the poverty of his followers. The chief was always surrounded by hundreds of his own people, who looked to him for sustenance.

#3

I was sent to the Royal School when I was four years old. It was a boarding school, the pupils being allowed to return to their homes during vacation time. The family life was made agreeable to us, and our instructors were especially concerned with teaching us the proper use of the English language.

#4

I was taken from my own parents and adopted by Paki and Konia, or about two months thereafter. A child was born to Kinau. That little babe was the Princess Victoria, two of whose brothers became sovereigns of the Hawaiian people.

#5

The Royal School began to decline in influence in 1848, and was discontinued in two or three years. I was then sent to the school of Rev. Mr. Beckwith, another American missionary. This was a day-school, and I was better satisfied with it than with a boarding-school.

#1

I was a studious girl, and the acquisition of knowledge has been a passion with me my whole life. I was different from my sister Bernice, who was one of the most beautiful girls I ever saw. She married in her eighteenth year.

#2

On June 13, 1855, Paki, my adopted father, died. The king announced the wedding of Alexander Liholiho and Emma Rooke. Some people went to the king and begged him to change his mind, saying that there was no other chief equal to him in birth and rank but the adopted daughter of Paki.

#3

I was engaged to Prince William, who was also on board the ship. He insisted on taking my cabin, and when the berth was cleared of oranges, his wearing apparel, boots, and other belongings, he asked me to marry him. I declined.
Insights from Chapter 3

#1

Alexander Liholiho, known as Kamehameha IV, was the king of Hawaii. He had all the characteristics of his race, and the strong, passionate nature of the Kamehamehas is shown in his benevolent as well as his less commendable acts.

#2

The first trip (1860) was to the extinct volcano of Healeala. It was a beautiful sight, and the waters were calm.
