Excerpt from An Account of the Polynesian Race, Vol. 2: Its Origins and Migrations and the Ancient History of the Hawahan People to the Times of Kamehameha I In the present volume the author has endeavoured to present the ancient history of that branch of the Poly nesians which took up its abode on the Hawaiian Islands.
