$115 · Offered by William Reese Company

UN ROYAUME POLYNÉSIEN. ILES HAWAÏ. A sympathetic and thoughtful portrait of Hawaii. Sauvin arrived in New York and journeyed overland, admiring Niagara Falls, Chicago, and the Rocky Mountains before reaching San Francisco. The majority of the book is devoted to the islands of Hawaii, however, and includes information about history, native culture, social development, natural wonders, and the leper colony on Molokai. The folding map depicts the archipelago, with the principal towns and geographical features marked.
