Description
At the end of the 1800s, when a young American teacher accepted a teaching job in Hawaii, she couldn’t have imagined that she would become involved in the political turmoil that soon swept over the Kingdom. The 1893 Revolution happened literally outside the school’s windows. You will learn about the events through the eyes of the teachers, the young students, and Hawaii’s beloved Queen Lili‘uokalani, as well as the missionaries who overthrew the Kingdom. Bonura has published four books about Lili‘uokalani, the last Queen of Hawaii, and her struggle to hold on to her beloved Hawaiian Islands.
