Very interesting book
Very interesting book for anyone interested in the post contact history and geography of Hawaii. It is especially interesting to use a map to follow Ellis’ travels around the islands. Many places still exist, while others have been covered by subsequent lava flows. We can still observe traces of Ellis’ Hawaii today.
