Item Description

Booklet One: "A Walk Through Old Honolulu: An Illustrated Guide"

By O.A. Bushnell

Photographs by Dana Levy

Published by Kapa Associates, Ltd.

Excerpt from foreword: "The best way to see the places described in this guide— not only as arrangements of stones and wood and glass, but especially as setting in which Hawaiian history has been made— is to approach them on foot, as did the people who shaped history in them. ... After all, one of the purposes of this book is to enable its user to discover anew the pleasures of walking— and, in the best humanist tradition, of learning something as one walks."

Booklet Two: "Long Before Pearl Harbor: Hawaii's Historical Highlights"

By George J. Armitage

Excerpt from booklet: "There is no doubt that we should all 'Remember Pearl Harbor!' Who can forget it? But all Americans should likewise remember something equally significant: That for more than a hundred years their pioneering countrymen have assisted in the development of a tiny Island Empire till it attained the proportions of a mighty bastion that stood resolute and firm in the path of ruthless aggression blocking the way on Dec. 7, 1941."
