Item Description

"Hawaii, U.S.A"

By Bob Davis and George Armitage

Excerpt from foreword by George T. Armitage: "It might seem in these first few pages that my part of Hawaii—U.S.A. is a story of Bob Davis of the New York Sun, and that's the way I would like it. There is little that I can add to this charming series of Island stories, at least in his style. But there is a lot I could tell about him, how he works and the way he got the stories in this book, which might prove interesting. Many noted writers and observers come to the Hawaiian Islands, but none has returned as often or written as much as he. No other man has studied all the principal islands so sympathetically, gone to so many out-of-the-way places, or met and interviewed so many important people of Hawaii in practically every walk of life."
