Summary: |
"Return to historic Waikiki, at a time when mule-drawn trolley cars transported tourists and locals into town, and when kamaaina families lived in lush, stately tropical compounds. Witness, through nostalgic photographs, the opening of the now-legendary Royal Hawaiian Hotel, the famed luau that Queen Liliuokalani hosted for Robert Louis Stevenson, and Duke Kahanamoku and his beachboys teaching tourists to surf on 20-foot wooden surfboards. Written by noted tour leader and historian Glen Grant, Waikiki Yesteryear presents the stories, history, and personages which have made Waikiki renowned." |
