This time the author takes the reader on a historical tour of the North Shore of Oahu, from Kahuku (the north point of the island) to Ka’ena (the west point of the island), and uncovers the everyday lives of the residents, especially prior to the plantation era. Similar to his 2011 book, Hawaiian Surfing, to research this book Clark tapped into the Ho’olaupa’i online database: a vast archive of 125,000 pages of Hawaiian-language newspapers published from 1834 to 1948. The author collected an enormous number of references to specific North Shore locations and presents them in an easy-to-use dictionary-style format, which includes original passages in Hawaiian with English translations by Keao NeSmith.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDiscover these highlights and others in this unique look at Oahu’s North Shore:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e– Letters from the longtime principal of the girls school that eventually gave Haleiwa its name.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e– Examples of the clash of cultures between traditional Hawaiian practices and Christianity, as evident in accounts of hula performances.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e– Old-time traffic accidents one that involved Queen Liliuokalani when she was trapped by her overturned horse-drawn carriage and unusual train fatalities.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e– Notices of auctions of Government lands, property trespasses, stolen sheep, and stray horses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAn invaluable resource for anyone interested in Hawaii history and the Hawaiian language,\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNorth Shore Place Names\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ebrings to life the names, places, and events of the historic North Shore community.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Hawaiʻi Press","offers":[{"title":"Softcover","offer_id":53196075336000,"sku":"awi1790030087682","price":17.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/8535\/4304\/files\/north-shore-place-names-kahuku-to-ka_ena_1.jpg?v=1790030092","url":"https:\/\/mountainpeaks.shop\/products\/north-shore-place-names-kahuku-to-ka%ca%bbena","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
