Seller's Description:
First edition. xvii, [3], 220pp. Map, vintage photographs. Index. Red leatherette, gilt. A very fine copy with pictorial dust jacket. History of the largest privately-owned ranch in the United States. Provides the complete story from the 1809 New England whaling captain jumping ship in Hawaii, the land grant bestowed by the Hawaiian King in 1845, and the continuous operation of the ranch by the Parker family ever since. Includes twenty photographs from the Parker archives.
This book was everything I had anticipated. Obviously since the book was written some time ago, I had to do additional research to find out if the ranch were under some sort of trusteeship, since mention was made that the sons of Richard Smart were not interested in carrying on the "family " tradition - dealing with cattle, etc. Along with this book "The Incredible Ann" should be read but definetly not in the same week.
