Ancient Oahu: Stories from Fornander & Thrum, new exp. ed.

These are stories of Oahu 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.
