Selected Writings of Hiram Bingham, 1814-1869: Missionary to the Hawaiian Islands (Studies in American Religion)

By Hiram Bingham I

Excerpts from the correspondence of a pioneer missionary to Hawaii who played a controversial role in the Islands' history. This text records the crucial period when much of the indigenous leadership chose to convert to Christianity and may correct the generally negative caricature that survives in 19th- and 20th-century depictions of Bingham's work (such as Michener's Hawaii).
