  • The U.S. Army on Kaua'i, 1909—1942
    WILLIAM H. DORRANCE The U.S. Army on Kaua'i, 1909—1942 FOLLOWING THE ANNEXATION of the Republic of Hawai'i by the United States in 1898, the U.S. Army viewed the Islands in a strategic context. They were seen to be the advance outpost in the western defenses of the mainland United States. The airplane was in its infancy and posed no threat, so land-based cannons were emplaced on O'ahu to prevent naval bombardment of Honolulu and Pearl Harbor. Kaua'i had nothing of strategic importance that required similar fortifications. It was enough for the Army to construct a har- bor on the island suitable for receiving ocean going troop transports if an invasion were threatened. The Army's outlook changed when the performance of military airplanes improved. Advance warning and early interception of enemy aircraft approaching O'ahu were needed. Kaua'i's location relative to O'ahu became a factor, and in the 1920s the Army began to establish airfields on the island. Then, in the mid-1930s, senior officers began expressing the importance of keeping an enemy off Kaua'i at all costs. They believed that the island could help feed O'ahu in the event that Hawai'i was isolated and that Kaua'i must not be used as ajumping-off place to invade O'ahu. While a battalion of infantry was assigned to Kaua'i, little of the defense preparations was completed before the Japanese struck. Nevertheless, the Army's immediate response to the December 7, 1941, Japanese attack on O'ahu included doing what it could to strengthen Kaua'i's defenses.

  • Hawaiʻi's Big Five
    Hawaiʻi’s Big Five (Plus 2) “By 1941, every time a native Hawaiian switched on his lights, turned on the gas or rode on a street car, he paid a tiny tribute into Big Five coffers.” (Alexander MacDonald, 1944) The story of Hawaii’s largest companies dominates Hawaiʻi’s economic history. Since the early/mid- 1800s, until relatively recently, five major companies emerged and dominated the Island’s economic framework. Their common trait: they were focused on agriculture - sugar. They became known as the Big Five: C. Brewer (1826;) Theo H. Davies (1845;) Amfac - starting as Hackfeld & Company (1849;) Castle & Cooke (1851) and Alexander & Baldwin (1870.) C. Brewer & Co. Amfac Founded: October 1826; Capt. James Hunnewell Founded: 1849; Heinrich Hackfeld and Johann (American Sea Captain, Merchant; Charles Carl Pflueger (German Merchants) Brewer was American Merchant) Incorporated: 1897 (H Hackfeld & Co;) American Incorporated: February 7, 1883 Factors Ltd, 1918 Theo H. Davies & Co. Castle & Cooke Founded: 1845; James and John Starkey, and Founded: 1851; Samuel Northrup Castle and Robert C. Janion (English Merchants; Theophilus Amos Starr Cooke (American Mission Secular Harris Davies was Welch Merchant) Agents) Incorporated: January 1894 Incorporated: 1894 Alexander & Baldwin Founded: 1870; Samuel Thomas Alexander & Henry Perrine Baldwin (American, Sons of Missionaries) Incorporated: 1900 © 2017 Ho‘okuleana LLC The Making of the Big Five Some suggest they were started by the missionaries. Actually, only Castle & Cooke has direct ties to the mission. However, Castle ran the ‘depository’ and Cooke was a teacher, neither were missionary ministers. Alexander & Baldwin were sons of missionaries, but not a formal part of the mission.

From one acre of cane, 12 tons of raw sugar may be produced. This amounts to 22,465 pounds of refined sugar.

  • Mission Stations
    Mission Stations The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM), based in Boston, was founded in 1810, the first organized missionary society in the US. One hundred years later, the Board was responsible for 102-mission stations and a missionary staff of 600 in India, Ceylon, West Central Africa (Angola), South Africa and Rhodesia, Turkey, China, Japan, Micronesia, Hawaiʻi, the Philippines, North American native American tribes, and the "Papal lands" of Mexico, Spain and Austria. On October 23, 1819, the Pioneer Company of ABCFM missionaries set sail on the Thaddeus to establish the Sandwich Islands Mission (now known as Hawai‘i). Over the course of a little over 40-years (1820- 1863 - the “Missionary Period”), about 180-men and women in twelve Companies served in Hawaiʻi to carry out the mission of the ABCFM in the Hawaiian Islands. One of the earliest efforts of the missionaries, who arrived in 1820, was the identification and selection of important communities (generally near ports and aliʻi residences) as “Stations” for the regional church and school centers across the Hawaiian Islands. As an example, in June 1823, William Ellis joined American Missionaries Asa Thurston, Artemas Bishop and Joseph Goodrich on a tour of the island of Hawaiʻi to investigate suitable sites for mission stations. On O‘ahu, locations at Honolulu (Kawaiahaʻo), Kāne’ohe, Waialua, Waiʻanae and ‘Ewa served as the bases for outreach work on the island. By 1850, eighteen mission stations had been established; six on Hawaiʻi, four on Maui, four on Oʻahu, three on Kauai and one on Molokai. Meeting houses were constructed at the stations, as well as throughout the district.

  • The Pursuit of Power in Hawai'i from 1780 to 1796
    5 The Pursuit of Power in Hawai‘i from 1780 to 1796 This chapter introduces the third main theme of this book – that historical details matter and unification of the Hawaiian Islands was not inevitable simply because the necessary structural conditions were in place. The structural features proposed as essential prerequisites for unification were all in place in Hawai‘i well before the 1790s. Specific events and decisions influenced the course of history. Hawaiian traditions place limited emphasis on settlement patterns, carrying capacity and other structural characteristics of Hawaiian society. They focus on battles fought, rivals slain and marriage alliances successfully concluded. Environmental factors, political and social organisation may have set limits on action, but they could not dictate the specific course of events. That was a matter for the gods and ali‘i. A detailed examination of Hawaiian traditions suggest that events in the 1780s and 1790s allowed the relatively young and militarily weak chief Kamehameha to seize power through fortuitous circumstances and conciliatory practices pursued initially through his weak position but later, as his power consolidated, through choice. The 1780s saw the foremost military tactician and military innovator Kahekili expand his realm, while Kamehameha was preoccupied with consolidating his political heartland against older, more established subordinates. Kahekili overextended himself and alienated his new subjects with repressive measures, thereby weakening his realm and fatally dividing his polity into warring factions upon his death. Their fighting undermined their cohesive strength and allowed Kamehameha to achieve a relatively easy victory over 147 TRANSFORMING Hawai‘I their remnants in 1795. Detailed accounts of the battles of the 1790s, accompanied by battle maps, reveal that firearms and cannon did not and could not have been as decisive as many modern commentators suggest.

  • The Life and Legacy of Ioane Kaneiakama Papa ʻīʻī
    FACING THE SPEARS OF CHANGE: THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF IOANE KANEIAKAMA PAPA ʻĪʻĪ A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAIʻI AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ENGLISH DECEMBER 2014 By Marie Alohalani Brown Dissertation Committee: Craig Howes, Chairperson Cristina Bacchilega Kuʻualoha Hoʻomanawanui Jeffrey Kapali Lyon M. Puakea Nogelmeier DEDICATION In memory of Alton R. Brown and Steven Y. Kimura. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This journey, which has ended with a doctoral degree after eleven years and three months of being a student, began long before I decided, at forty-two, to enroll as a freshman in the University of Hawaiʻi System. Looking back, I can now clearly see the path that led me to this point. Along the way I was guided, protected, assisted, and inspired by ka poʻe akua, poʻe ʻaumākua, ka poʻe kūpuna, my ʻohana, my children, my friends, my kumu, and my students. As a Kanaka Maoli, I am deeply motivated by aloha and mahalo for the ʻāina, my kūpuna, and my fellow Kānaka Maoli—past and present. They have been at the forefront of my mind in any intellectual efforts I have produced, and will continue to inspire my future research. To all the intellectuals whose efforts have paved the way for my own, and whose works have influenced me, I am beholden. A special thanks to my dissertation chair Craig Howes whose tireless efforts have made me a better scholar. Three of my committee members are long-time mentors, Puakea Nogelmeier, kuʻualoha hoʻomanawanui, and Cristina Bacchilega, and I am eternally indebted to them.
