Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hawaii, Our New Possessions: An Account of Travels and Adventure, With Sketches of the Scenery, Customs and Manners, Mythology and History of Hawaii to the Present, and an Appendix Containing the Treaty of Annexation to the United States While they lack the historical interest of Southern Europe, they are Said to surpass it in natural scenery. Small as they are, the greatest active volcano in the world is on one of them. Here is also found the cra ter of the greatest extinct volcano in the world. The people are not savages, and nowhere is life and property more safe. Under the new social and politi cal order of things Hawaii has taken a new start in the world; her relations to the United States will be closer in the future than they have been in the past, and it is a fitting time that our people should learn more of their history, industries, and mode of liv ing. I made a journey to each of the islands, visited every point of interest on them, and have endeavored to give a truthful and unbiased representation of the country, its industries, resources, and history. Like all countries the islands have a story, and like all stories this one has two sides; I heard both, and selected what to me seems most reliable.
