Honolulu Stadium: Where Hawaii Played

During the historic half-century from 1927 to 1976, this landmark arena hosted high school football, the Triple-A Hawaii Islanders, the Hula Bowl, stock car racing, boxing matches, ethnic baseball leagues, sports heroes from Babe Ruth to Joe Louis, and big name entertainers from Irving Berlin to Elvis Presley. Includes hundreds of historic photos and rare memorabilia, as well as the priceless memories of athletes, coaches, fans and many others. With a foreword by sportscaster Al Michaels, this is the complete story of Honolulu Stadium--a classic American ballpark and the heart and soul of a community.

The heartwarming autobiography of Yasushi "Scotch" Kurisu tells the story of the historic sugar cane communities along the Hilo Coast of the Big Island of Hawaii--from the boom years of the early 20th Century through the industry's postwar decline and virtual disappearance in the 1980s. More than 70 archival photographs illustrate these poignant, often humorous, anecdotes and warm vignettes of laborers from around the world--immigrants who worked the canefields and sugar mills and came of age in the plantation camps of the Hilo Coast. Sugar Town is a story told straight from the heart, a story that helps the preserve the spirit of a bygone era.
