The Last Queen of Hawaii

"I spent a long time digging through the papers of Queen Lili O'Kalani of her brother King Kalakawa and Other members of the royal family so I had a huge amount of material to work with which provided a much more intimate glimpse," says author. "There was one particular afternoon that I'll never forget when I came across this amazing piece of paper It was a page that Lili O’Kalani had torn from the book of Psalms and she'd written in pencil across it Ilani Palace January 16th 1895 And imprisoned in this room the southeast corner by the government of the Hawaiian Republic", he adds.
