Hawaii's Story
None
Lili'uokalani
Liliuokalani is a play about the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy and the annexation of the Islands by the United States. Playwright Aldyth Morris became intrigued with the story in 1929, when she came to make her home in the Islands Hawaii had been an American territory for only thirty-one years and its last monarch had been dead for only twelve. But loving memories of Queen Liliuokalani, amounting almost to reverence, were very much alive. Now, after more than sixty years of living in Hawaii, Mrs. Morris has captured the story in dramatic form. Following early years of asking questions and listening to the answers, and of reading books, articles, and diaries, Mrs. Morris saw clearly the story that must be told. She shares it with us, with sensitivity and respect for the characters involved.
The Diaries of Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii, 1885-1900
These are among the records seized by order of Republic of Hawaii officials in 1895 with the intent of obtaining evidence that she had prior knowledge of the 1895 counterrevolution.
Hawaii's Story
A memoir of a Hawaiian queen living in the Victorian era is fascinating to anyone seeking rare historical pieces and materials about political leaders. It tells about Liliuokalani, the last queen of Hawaii, whose ancestors were first converts to Christianity and creators of the constitution. She lived in the turbulent times of the Victorian era, a problematic period for Hawaii and herself. Her life was full of events – from marriage and coronation to revolution and imprisonment. The book is written in the first person and claims to be a personal memoir of the real princess. It describes in detail her childhood, marriage, a world tour, acquaintance and friendship with President Cleveland and his wife, a visit to Great Britain, meetings with nobility and then the overthrow of the monarchy in Hawaii, and other political events leading to the annexation of Hawaii to the US in the late 19thcentury, which she didn't support. The book is considered an important document and one of the key historical sources for the Hawaiian sovereignty movement.
