About This Book
About the Book: The events leading up to the overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy in 1893 took place over a century ago yet there is still debate about what actually happened and what can be done about it today. Sanford Dole, Lorrin A. Thurston and the others responsible for the overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy truly believed that they were doing the right thing for Hawaii. This is a three volume set starting at http://www.lulu.com/content/1752069
About the Authors: Sanford B. Dole was born in Honolulu in 1844 of missionary parents and grew up in the islands, eventually serving in the cabinets of David Kalakaua and Queen Liliuokalani. In 1893, he and others overthrew the Hawaiian Monarchy. He served as President until 1900 when Hawaii was officially annexed by the United States. He died in 1926 after suffering a series of strokes. His ashes were interred in the small cemetery next to the famed Kawaiahao Church in Honolulu. Lorrin Andrews Thurston was born in Honolulu in 1858. He was the grandson of missionaries Asa Thurston and Lucy Goodale Thurston who came to the Hawaiian Islands in 1820. He grew up on Oahu, went abroad for law school and returned to live there afterwards. He would later change Hawaii's future in 1893 with the overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy which set in motion events that are still being debated today.
