We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Hawaii: A History of the Big Island" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Although its soils are the youngest in the Hawaiian chain, the Big Islands chronicles are at times epic, tragic, and heroic, but always fascinating. Modern Hawaii is filled with tradition and mythology, accommodating influences as diverse as its inviting landscape. Kamehameha stood tall to mold this nascent region into a unified kingdom and others fought to sustain it, while outside forces molded and shaped this island in astonishing ways.

Writing a brief history of the Big Island is an undertaking as big as the island itself. The subject is huge, often complex, covers many centuries, and transcends various scholarly disciplines. If I have succeeded at all in distilling the story into a readable narrative, it is largely because of the help and support of many people and institutions.
I could not have written this book without access to the unparalleled manuscript and book collections of the Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley. The staff was always friendly, helpful, and generous with their knowledge.
On the Big Island itself, I especially wish to thank Sheree Chase and Terre Kriege of the Kona Historical Society, Lynne Wolforth of the Lyman Museum, Jill Sommer of the Pacific Tsunami Museum, and Lisa Barton of the Laupahoehoe Train Museum. The State Archives in Honolulu provided most of the pictures in this book, and I very much appreciate the help of Luella Kurkjian and her very friendly staff. The staffs of the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel on the Kohala coast and the Crockett Museum in Crockett, California also provided welcome support and photos. I also received some good suggestions from Joseph Castelli, who, despite his disclaimers and modesty, really is a Kona historian. Finally, Rob Kangas, my editor at Arcadia Publishing, guided and supported this project to completion and made many suggestions that undoubtedly improved style and readability.
Necessarily, this book is largely derived from the scholarly works of others who have written in much greater detail about the topics included here. I thank all of them and hope I have not greatly distorted or misinterpreted their endeavors. Readers who want more information on particular subjects are directed to the bibliography.
