CINCINNATI•:• CHICAGO AMERICAN BOOK C.OMPANY Digitized by Google ' .. HARVARD COLLEGELIBRAllY BEQUESTOF RCLANOBUr.ll,' , ,E DIXOII f,'.AY 19, 1936 0oPYBIGRT, 1891, BY AlilBIOAN BooK Co)[PA.NY. W. P. 2 1 Digit zed by Google \ PREFACE AT the request of the Board of Education, I have .fi. endeavored to write a simple and concise history of the Hawaiian people, which, it is hoped, may be useful to the teachers and higher classes in our schools. As there is, however, no book in existence that covers the whole ground, and as the earlier histories are entirely out of print, it has been deemed best to prepare not merely a school-book, but a history for the benefit of the general public. This book has been written in the intervals of a labo­ rious occupation, from the stand-point of a patriotic Hawaiian, for the young people of this country rather than for foreign readers. This fact will account for its local coloring, and for the prominence given to certain topics of local interest. Especial pains have been taken to supply the want of a correct account of the ancient civil polity and religion of the Hawaiian race. This history is not merely a compilation. It is based upon a careful study of the original authorities, the writer having had the use of the principal existing collections of Hawaiian manuscripts, and having examined the early archives of the government, as well as nearly all the existing materials in print.

Judging “not many words were erased,” Vincent expressed hope for “a future examination of the markings under infra-red rays.”1 But in Melville’s Marginalia, Walker Cowen deciphered many of Melville’s erased markings without technical assistance, and although he did not recover many of Melville’s erased words, Cowen showed that the book had once been heavily annotated.2 With fnancial support from the William Reese Company and Boise State University, technical assistance at the Fogg Art Museum, and support from staf at Houghton Library, I worked collaboratively with Dennis C.

  • The US Navy and Control of the Mississippi River, 1806-1815 Gene
    Preventing the “Eggs of Insurrection” from Hatching: The U.S. Navy and Control of the Mississippi River, 1806-1815 Gene Allen Smith La station de la marine américaine à la Nouvelle-Orléans a joué un rôle clef en affirmant le contrôle américain du territoire de la Louisiane alors nouvellement acheté au début du 19ème siècle. Bien que la force disponible ait inclus principalement de petites canonnières, elle a répondu effectivement à la menace d'insurrection parmi la population multinationale, la contrebande effrénée, et la présence voisine de forces espagnoles. Cette expérience a permis aux forces de la station de contribuer sur une échelle bien plus grande que n'ait été précédemment appréciée à la défaite de l'assaut britannique sur la Nouvelle-Orléans à la fin de la guerre de 1812. During the summer of 1806 Captain Thomas Truxtun, who had become privy to one of Aaron Burr’s plans for a western revolution, eagerly suggested to President Thomas Jefferson that the naval force stationed on the Mississippi River should be used to keep the “eggs of insurrection” from hatching. Louisiana had only recently been purchased by the United States and there was still great uncertainty about the loyalty of the region’s multi-ethnic inhabitants; this fear had increased considerably after Burr’s 1805 tour of the west. According to Truxtun, the government needed to be prepared for Burr and this could be accomplished only by using the ships of the New Orleans Naval Station to blockade the city, control commerce on the Mississippi River, and prevent the arrival of foreign aid, all of which would be necessary for Burr’s success.

  • Introduction Chapter 1 War Stories: a Militarized History of Hawai'i
    Notes Introduction 1 According to Schmitt, the highest number of military personnel in Hawai‘i was 400,000 during World War Two. More recently, the highest number of military personnel and dependents peaked at 134,000 in 1988 (Hawai‘i Data 158). 2 In a 1926 study of the US invasion of the Philippines, authors Moorfield Story and Marcial Lichauco tell how ‘the President of the United States [in 1925] still asserts that the islands came to us “unsought”’ (Loewen, Lies Across 141). 3 Unless stated, all other data is from this source. 4 For example, in his book John Tyler: the Accidental President, historian Edward P. Crapol describes a ‘classic display of French gunboat diplomacy’ in the islands (137), and a second incident of ‘unauthorized gunboat diplomacy’ by the British (158). However, he chooses not to describe similar actions by Americans as ‘gunboat diplomacy.’ 5 A notable exception is Professor William R. Chapman, Director of the Graduate Program in Historic Preservation at the University of Hawai‘i. As a preservation- ist, Chapman believes the memorial is an important part of Hawai‘i history and should be conserved. He states, ‘There are so few major important buildings from the territorial period that to lose any one at this point would be a tragedy’ (Leidemann). Chapter 1 War Stories: A Militarized History of Hawai‘i 1 The ‘ap’ in Captain Thomas ap Catesby Jones, is a Welsh term meaning ‘son of’. 2 According to Ralph S. Kuykendall, conspirator Lorrin Thurston would later admit that the new constitution ‘was not in accordance with law’ (371).

  • "The Kind-Eyed Chief": Forgotten Champion of Hawaii's Freedom
    "The Kind-Eyed Chief": Forgotten Champion of Hawaii's Freedom Frank W. Gapp His name was Thomas ap Gatesby Jones, or, translated from the Welsh, "Thomas, the son of Gatesby Jones." He was a Virginian, a U.S. naval officer who twice sailed into Hawaiian waters to oppose British domination of the Islands and who achieved some success both times and was rewarded both times by praise from his govern- ment and abuse from his countrymen. Historians, generally, have picked up the abuse, not the praise. Few writers have understood the life and times of Lieutenant Jones, later Commodore Jones. It is the purpose of the present writer, who, if he had lived in Virginia early in the 19th Century would have been a neighbor of the gallant old sea dog, to recall events that have been overlooked by others. In 1841, the Commonwealth of Virginia presented a sword to Commodore Jones in recognition of "his patriotic services during the late war with Great Britain, and more particularly for the gallantry and good conduct he displayed in the capture of the pirates of Barataria, on the 16th of September, 1814. ,'n Although Jones didn't capture Jean Lafitte, he did seize one of his vessels and put the pirates to flight in a raid on their headquarters. His action against the British consisted of a desperate stand in the defense of New Orleans, with five small gunboats against a British armada of some 80 vessels of all sizes. Jones was wounded and captured in December of 1814, but his daring fight against overwhelming odds gave Andrew Jackson time to shift his troops from Mobile to New Orleans and win a notable victory on December 8, 1815.

Work Cited 43 iii Abstract Kendra Poppy Las Aguas de Los Mares Occidentales: The Latin Pacific Imaginary To date, there is a dearth of scholarship on the intellectual and mercantile networks that unified the ocean the west coast of the hemisphere; this is especially striking in context of the hemispheric and oceanic “turn” in American studies. Here, I begin to redress this absence by assembling an archive of work by Independence-era politicans and writers from throughout North and South America who envisioned a geographically and ideologically “western” ocean, which I call the Latin Pacific. From the end of the 16th century to the middle of the 19th century, the Latin Pacific was portrayed as a cohesive region, a space of abundant resources and the domain of interconnected traders and travelers.
