Summary: |
"The book discusses the history and present-day status of the Big Island's Kohala Coast,
from the earliest Polynesian settlements through European contact and missionary influence;
to the growth of Parker and Kahua ranches, sugar plantations and the current boom in growth." With over 100 photographs and facts from archival letters and journals.
Kohala Aina tells the story of this remote but vastly important area. "Kohala 'Aina features more than 150 historical photographs chronicling Kohala's evolution, which were supplied in large part by Bishop Museum. The pictorial tale begins before the reign of Kohala native King Kamehameha I, travels through the close of the sugar plantations in the late 20th century, and ends in 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 Hawai'i."
