Special Enlarged Text Edition: 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 and the others responsible for the overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy truly believed that they were doing the right thing for Hawaii. About the Author: 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. This special edition is NOT available from bookstores!
