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

1843WRCAM55894Lahainaluna: Seminary Press 1843. 6pp. 12mo. Original printed self-wrappers. Tiny chip at top of spine tiny area of marginal loss to spine edge of first two leaves minor foxing. Very good. In a cloth chemise and green half morocco and cloth folding case spine gilt. An exceedingly rare early Hawaiian imprint. The work is a supplement to the English translation of KE KUMU KANAWAI A ME NA KANAWAI O KO HAWAII PAE AINA Forbes 1337. It contains ten laws and resolutions approved by Hawaiian King Kamehameha III and the premier Kekauluohi "at the council house at Luaehu Lahaina Maui Sandwich Islands." The laws and resolutions themselves deal with land leases taxes on land and pets the timing of the evening guns divorce whaling public auctions tonnage dues ship clearances the removal of duties on gold and silver exports and the payment of jurors. The laws had to be submitted for approval to the British commission that exercised temporary control over Hawaii between February and July 1843 and it is noted in the penultimate paragraph "All the foregoing laws.will take effect after being communicated to the British Commission and proclaimed at each of the principal islands." <br> <br> The resolution on "Respecting Divorced Persons" is especially interesting. This resolution allowed among other things all "divorced persons" not just men to remarry if their divorce was granted before the 1840 Constitution was adopted. The 1840 Hawaiian Constitution had placed certain restrictions on remarriage for both divorced men and women. For instance in cases of adultery the guilty party whether a man or a woman was forbidden to remarry while the former partner was alive. An absence of four years whether through criminal confinement or overseas service or some other reason was often grounds for divorce and remarriage for the party who remained in Hawaii. If a husband tried to kill his wife or vice versa the offending party was not allowed to remarry. The present resolution provided for all those who divorced before the 1840 Constitution to remarry no matter the reason for the divorce. <br> <br> The resolution regarding whaling ships is also notable. It allows whalers to barter or sell up to $200 worth of goods duty free "for the purpose of procuring refreshments." If a whaling ship barters or sells more than the $200 threshhold "they shall pay the customary duties." This is likely a reaction to laws or regulations set down in other Pacific ports during the golden age of the whaling industry when Hawaii was an important port of call for ships of all nations. "The edition is unknown. This is not recorded in reports of either the 1843 or 1844 General Meetings. Because of its small size it was doubtless part of the category 'small jobs ship lists government protests &c.' in the 1844 minutes" - Forbes. <br> <br> Forbes lists no references for the work and the location of only eight copies all in Hawaii. OCLC lists a digital record in twelve libraries which may contain some number of authentic copies and three additional copies in a separate record which appear to be the 1913 reprint by the Statute Law Book Company printed in an edition of fifty copies according to Forbes. <br> <br> An uncommon and elusive early Hawaiian legal work that touches upon women's issues and the whaling industry at the height of its prominence in the world economy.

Blue Japanese sewn blue cloth wrappers side stitched with red thread some tearing to leaves damage to last few leaves of the second album but images generally fine and bright. Vintage gelatin silver prints various sizes most captioned beneath the image. "The first aviation meet in Honolulu". A pair of family photo albums the first focusing mostly on the young Betty Fisher and her family included Betty's Kindegarten Class at Norwood School Los Angeles; Betty at Grandfather's house in Louisville Ky; Waipio Falls on the Big Island of Hawaii; New Years Day at Waikiki; Kaikio Tank; Betty's First Kodak 1910. The second album shows vacation scenes in Cape Cod Harwichport; Boothbay Harbor Maine; Squirrel Island; Monhegan Island; Wicasset Maine; Montreal Quebec; Berkshires; Bretton Woods; Delaware Water Gap; Washington D.C.<br/><br/>Most interesting is an 8 x 10 in photo in the first album of the first aviation meet in Hawaii showing "Bud Mars in a Curtis aero-plane" performing for an awestruck crowd in December of 1910. Hawaii was the first stop on a 30000 mile demonstration tour sponsored by the Curtis Aircraft Company the Wright Brothers' chief rival.<br/>Undoubtedly a unique image - we found no published images of this meet. The rest of the albums are interesting in their own right showing the life of a well-off Hawaiian family over the course of 10 years. unknown books

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.
