Summary: The Story of Koloa
Review: As a frequent visitor to Kauai and and from an old family in Koloa., I would like to compliment Dr. Donohugh for the thoroughness, accurate story. I found the story to be very readable, scholarly, and historically accurate. Since I am a friend of Dr. Donohugh I am staying with him and he was kind enough to share a copy with me. I plan on buying some for my relatives.

Sincerely,

Dorothea Ladd

Summary: interesting
Review: Often I read historical information on the English, French, Chinese etc. but this book was a particular find as many of its stories were entirely unknown to me -although I have visited Hawaii many, many times over the years. It helped me to appreciate the rich cultural history and not just the island's lovely beaches.

It has been a great pleasure to uncover this particular book. Nothing I have read thus far on the islands carries the thread to this depth.

Review: Unbelievably accurate accounting of history as spoken by the natives themselves. History at it's best. We all frequently visit Hawaii but usually do not take the time to understand anything about the islands beyond the beautiful beaches. This is our book to learn and understand what this culture is really about. Easy to read. A must!
