Hawaii's Story by Queen Liliuokalani - Autobiography of Hawaii's Last Monarch | Perfect for History Buffs & Hawaiian Culture Enthusiasts

Queen Lili'uokalani, born as Lydia Lili‘u Loloku Walania Wewehi Kamaka'eha, was the last reigning monarch of the kingdom of Hawai'i. 

As part of her efforts to stave off annexation, the Queen published Hawai'i’s Story by Hawai'i’s Queen Liliuokalani in early 1898. She worked closely with the American journalist Julius Palmer on the manuscript, and the book reflects her experiences and perspectives. 

The new edition of Hawai'i’s Story by Hawai'i’s Queen Liliuokalani, is based on the 1898 edition, enhanced with additional illustrations, and annotated by David W. Forbes. An introductory essay about the publishing history of the first edition includes portions of early drafts of the manuscript deemed too inflammatory to include by the publisher.
