Nancy:

Hi...just received the copies you sent. Thank you. I found it very interesting reading. You are right that there has not been much history written about the Hawaiins who came to California in the early days. But it does not surprise me that this has been the case. History has been told almost completely from the view point of the whites. Those people who do not fit into this category have been either left out completely as though they never existed, or their stories have been romanticized to the point of being fiction instead of fact.

Since you seem to have a real interest in the Hawaiins, I would like to return the favor and send you a copy of "The Forgotten Californians". This short manuscript was written by a lady who knew Henry Azbill, son of Mele Ke'a'a'la & John Azbill. Henry helped her write it, and it is really something I think you will find fascinating. I already have an extra copy, so I would just have to put it in an manilla envelope and send it off...would you be interested in having it?

Jill
