From Wikipedia citing this book as a source: "Sammy Apollo Kapiikauinamokuonalani Amalu 1917-1986 was a Kanaka Maoli descendant of a Hawaiian high chiefess socialite ex-con and columnist with The Honolulu Advertiser. Known by the media as "Hawaii's favorite rascal" Amalu went by many aliases throughout his life. He famously posed as a mysterious Indian Maharaja in San Francisco a banker named Albert Wilcox and a Swiss-based syndicate who went by The Presidium to name a few Amalu is popularly known for his role in a multi-million-dollar real-estate hoax called the 'Sheraton Deal' where he was able to fool wealthy business tycoons who held large swaths of Hawaiian land into believing that the deal was legitimate Amalu was also known to push the lines of social norms in his writing. While incarcerated at Folsom Prison in 1967 serving time on embezzlement charges Amalu gained a position as a columnist for the Honolulu Advertiser in 1968 the column called 'The World of Sammy Amalu' was created. Amalu produced a diverse cache of political and social commentary about gun and prison reform sexuality prison life political issues in Hawaii as well as Knaka Maoli traditions genealogy and history. In 1968 Folsom Prison's warden stopped Amalus columns because prison officials had grown uncomfortable with Amalus work. Public outcry from his readership resounded in pleas to reinstate Amalus right to write. Some of Amalu's fans made their pleas to the then Governor of California Ronald Reagan in hopes of garnering his support to overturn the decision Amalu's columns soon began again. In 1970 Amalu was released from prison on parole. Upon returning to Honolulu Amalu was given a full-time columnist position with the Honolulu Advertiser ". First Edition. Softcover.
