Synopsis
The story of Kaluaikoolau (or Koolau) is one of Kauai's great legends. In 1892, after learning that he and his young son had contracted leprosy, Koolau fled with his family deep into Kalalau Valley. In June 1893 Koolau shot and killed a sherif and two Provisional Governemnt soldiers who had been sent to arrest him. He vowed never to be taken alive and became a powerful symbol of resistance for many Hawaiians in the years following the overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani. The story of Koolau's last years, as narrated by his devoted wife, Piilani, was published in Hawaiian in 1906. In this volume, the Hawaiian text is preceded by an English translation that successfully retains the poetic imagery and figurative language of the original. Many writers have attempted to tell Koolau's story, but none have been able to match the simple grace and poignancy of Piilani's narrative. It is one of only a handful of historical accounts by a native Hawaiian., The story of Kaluaikoolau (or Koolau) is one of Kauai's great legends.

- t***t (252)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseOverall a surprising good transaction. The quality and condition of the volume received was as described. The packing of a 900+ page book in an unpadded envelope was surprising; moreso that it arrived intact and relatively unscathed sans the bumped corners. Previous transactions with this vendor reflected better packing to assure a pleasant journey.Theological Dictionary of the New Testament: 004, Friedrich, Gerhard,Kittel, Ger (#205144518512)
