Item Description

The setting for these easy-to-read excursions by Dr. P. Quentin Tomich is a remarkable portion of the southernmost land mass in the U.S.A., Hawai'i Island. Hamakua, an ancient land division carried forward to the present, includes the remote and rugged areas of the island. Perspectives is derived largely from the records, observations and photographs collected by the author since 1959, but some source materials have been drawn from past eras. References are well documented via an extensive bibliography; and the entire work is fully indexed. Topics include: Ranching, dairies, soda works, theatres, Waipio Valley, lava tubes, telephone systems and telephone insulators, bubonic plague and much, much more. Visit www.perspectivesonhamakua.com for chapter previews and further information about this remarkable look into a fascinating corner of Hawaii's biggest island.
