1950232880Oahu: United States Army 1950. Single cardstock leaf 7x4 inches printed in blue and red inks and folded once to make a scorecard with rules of play; mildly edgeworn with corner-tip crumple-lines and faintest touch of dust. Quite a nice look to this and it has never been filled in or marked in any way; a very good exemplar. Accompanying the item is a googled pagelong printout from 2005 giving Leilehua's history built 1948 and playing characteristics viz the unique 8th hole which forces a drive to the top of a hill before pin can be seen. Dating is problematical but in 1953 Norman Thibodeau was a "new head pro" who "started planting the Norfolk pines that today are found throughout the golf course United States Army unknown books

1905CAT0160London: The Church Army Back Room 1905. 8vo blue cloth 510 pp. Very Good. Clifford was an artist and missionary who traveled to Hawaii in the 1860s to visit the leprosy settlement at Kalaupapa. He met Father Damien while he was there. There was much fear in England that leprosy would spread there. Father Damien born Jozef De Veuster was a Catholic priest from Belgium. He spent his career spreading Catholicism to the Leprosy patients who were quarantined on the island of Moloka'i. He eventually contracted the disease himself and died. An uncommon firsthand account of Father Damien and his work. A somewhat fragile copy with spine shaken but still very good. Signed "From the Author / Sept. 1904" on head of title page.

1935WRCAM52777Various locations in and around Honolulu Oahu Hawaii 1935. Seventy-eight mounted silver gelatin photographs either 3 1/2 x 5 1/4 inches or 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches. Oblong octavo photograph album paper-covered boards string-bound. Front cover detached covers and spine chipped. Some album pages chipped but photographs remain largely untouched. Very good. An absorbing collection of photographs capturing American military life in Hawaii during the first half of the 20th century with the great majority of the photographs captioned in ink on the album pages. The unnamed photographer and compiler of the photographs apparently served at the Schofield Barracks in Honolulu as he includes several photographs of the base including the "Boxing Bowl." He also records other notable locations around Honolulu including the Waipahu Sugar Mill the Kilaeua Crater Japanese Temple the Mid-Pacific Railway wreck Kapiolani Park the Honolulu railway station Sand Island the naval destroyer JEANNE D'ARC Sampans Haleiwa Bay the Monoa Hotel the Waipahi Sugar Mill Diamondhead and Kahala Bay Waikiki Beach several shots of volcanoes and lava formations and more. He even includes a shot of the pack mule he presumably used in his wanderings. Hawaiian photographs are scarce in the market and continually more desirable especially with holographic notations like those present in this intriguing album. hardcover books
1943WRCAM55582Hawaii 1943. 240 photographs including twenty-seven photo postcards measuring 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 to 8 x 10 inches the majority 2 3/4 x 4 1/2 inches corner- mounted; one certificate. Oblong folio. Textured brown cloth with gilt stamps of American eagle with shield and palm trees on front board "Aloha Hawaii" stamped in black brown cord binding. Presentation inscription on first leaf. Some wear to extremities front hinge just starting to crack. A few photos mildly rumpled but overall extremely well-preserved. Very good. An engaging album depicting an eerily peaceful Hawaii in the days leading up to and during the American participation in World War II in the Pacific. Prepared by Charles Ryan for Viola Suhar inscribed to her and with her address written beneath the Trader Vic's certificate the album begins with Ryan's "Trading License" from Trader Vic's in Honolulu dated October 21 1943. It then proceeds directly to twenty photos of planes at "Hickem" i.e. Hickam Field in Honolulu the principal Army Air Force base in Hawaii during the war. These photos were likely taken before the attack on Pearl Harbor as Hickam sustained substantial damage during that attack. Then follows numerous tourist photos of Hawaii many annotated with location. Included are several photos of "hula girls" surfers shots of downtown Honolulu beaches mountains and landmarks such as Lau Yee Chai Chinese restaurant the Chamberlain House Ka Hale Kamalani Iolani Palace Waikiki Beach and the Aloha Tower. In the midst of this are nine uncaptioned photos apparent reproductions of ships under attack and one of sailors escorting caskets. <br> <br> Also included are several photos including one handcolored image of sailors relaxing on the beach at Camp Andrews and at "The Breakers" the Navy beach club in Waikiki; sailors at work and doing laundry; and then two sets of photos one set enlarged of a particular sailor with one of him on a motorcycle and the second with his shirt open and tattoos visible which are presumably of Charles Ryan. Finally there are nine photos of the Church of Latter Day Saints Temple in Laie outside of Honolulu including a large 8 x 10 inches image of the entire site. It seems unlikely that Ryan was a Mormon considering the tattoos and the visit to Trader Vic's so perhaps this was simply part of his travels throughout Hawaii. Ryan was almost certainly in the military most likely the Navy but we could not find conclusive evidence of his service. Viola Suhar was a teacher in Perth Amboy New Jersey and likely Charles' sweetheart we did find a Viola Ryan working as a teacher in Perth Amboy in the 1950s. <br> <br> A carefully-assembled view of a calm Hawaii against the backdrop of war. hardcover books
