The ‘Āinahau ban- yan has inspired poets, generated controversy and influenced leg- islation. Hundreds of individuals have rallied to help preserve the ‘Āinahau banyan and its numerous descendants. It is fitting that Archibald Cleghorn (15 November 1835–1 Novem- ber 1910), brought the banyan to Hawai‘i, for the businessman con- tinued the legacy of the traders from whom the banyan derives it etymology. The word banyan comes from the Sanskrit “vaniyo” and originally applied to a particular tree of this species near which the traders had built a booth. The botanical name for the East Indian fig tree, ficus benghalensis, refers to the northeast Indian province of Ralph Kam holds an M.A. and a Ph.D. in American Sudies from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa and an M.A. in Public Relations from the University of Southern California.

  • Oral History of Harrison Spiegelberg
    Oral History of Harrison Spiegelberg My family came to Hawaii just before the turn of the century when my maternal great-grandfather General Edward Davis retired here after being the commanding officer of Camp McKinley, which was where the Waikiki Fire Station is located today. He was part of the first U.S. military presence in Hawaii and retired to a large home on Hastings Street today known as Nehoa Street near Punahou. After my great-grandmother passed away, “The General” moved in with his daughter and son-in-law at their home “Red Hale”, so named because of its red paint and the red dirt kicked up by the horses in Kapiolani Park across the street. This was on the beach at the end of Kalakaua Avenue where The Tahitienne co-op is located today. My mother was born here 10 days after they moved into their new home. The land was leased to a corporation in 1957 and was the first co-op and high rise at that end of Waikiki. My grandparents met at a Royal Ball held at Washington Place when Queen Liliuokalani was in residence in 1902 and were married at St. Clements Episcopal Church in Makiki in 1903. My father arrived in the islands in 1930 as a research scientist with the Pineapple Research Institute and met and married my mother in 1937. She graduated from Punahou in 1929. I was born Harrison Spiegelberg on May 1, 1942, May Day in Kapiolani Hospital. This was five months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I was born three months premature.
