Item Description
The 224-page coffee-table book, entitled Kohala 'Aina, encompasses a 300-year history from before the reign of Kohala native King Kamehameha I through the close of the sugar plantations in the late 20th century to the current renaissance.
Besides chronicling the region's long and varied history, the book makes the case that North Kohala was one of the most important and influential areas in the history of all of Hawaii. From Kamehameha's birth and residence in the area, to the missionary movement and the innovations of the local sugar industry, North Kohala was pre-eminent.
The book was written by nationally known author Sophia V. Schweitzer, a resident of Hawi, underwritten by Kohala's largest landowner, Surety Kohala Corp. (formerly Chalon Corp.), and published by Mutual Publishing of Honolulu. The more than 150 historic photographs of North Kohala that illustrate the book, most of which have never been seen publicly, were supplied in large part by the Bishop Museum.
