Hawaii Goes to War: Life in Hawaii from Pearl Harbor to Peace

Here is the enthralling story of Hawaii during World War II as shown through a fascinating text and hundreds of rare and historic photographs. World War II s disruptions were felt throughout the United States, but nowhere more strongly than in Hawaii. Beginning with the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941, the years of change and the restrictions that in 1945 caused the islands to undergo an experience unlike anywhere else in the country. Everyone had to live with mail censorship and special U.S. currency under a fully entrenched military government. Residents of all ages toted gas masks, huddled in backyard air raid shelters, and spent nights under curfew in blacked out homes. The flood of military personnel and mainland war workers lived in tent cities and sought fun and companionship on Honolulu s notorious Hotel Street.

Pohaku - The Art and Architecture of Stonework in Hawaii

In 1870, land records were chaotic in the Kingdom of Hawai'i as a result of often poor surveying during the mahele process. Under William DeWitt Alexander, an agency was established to survey and map the country. The Hawaiian Government Survey was an ambitious undertaking; the United States lacked a similar agency to map the entire country.Alexander shaped the HGS into a survey that achieved a high standard of proficiency, choosing not to emulate Western mapping agencies, but developing a uniquely Hawaiian approach to mapping the land.The HGS preserved the vestiges of the Hawaiian system of land tenure. Surveyors documented ancient boundaries, names of land units and features within them by employing and consulting with Hawaiians; preservation of references to that land system has been an important component in the preservation of Hawaiian culture.
