This book contains the history that is part of Hawaiʻi – Stolen Paradise: A Travelogue.

This history was originally written as the prelude to a travelogue about a trip I took in October of 2012 to Oʻahu and the Big Island.

It includes details about the Hawaiian language, culture, agriculture, aquaculture, music, dance, cuisine, and the Hawaiian people, with a bibliography of source material and a glossary at the end.

For either people with a casual interest in Hawaiʻi or formal students of history and culture, and either armchair or serious travelers, this book can serve as a fun starting point for more in-depth study of this fascinating, beautiful paradise.
