Ancient Oahu: Stories from Fornander & Thrum, new exp. ed.
ed. by Dennis Kawaharada
Distributed for Kalamakü Press
These are stories of O`ahu before high rises, freeways, and hotels, before sugar plantations and pineapple fields, before churches and bibles. Culled from the collections of Abraham Fornander (1812-1887) and Thomas G. Thrum (1842-1932), the stories present an ancient history of the island and its people, telling of the heroes, ancestral spirits, and demigods who performed good works and punished evil-doers.
