Hawaiian National Bibliography, 1780-1900 - Volume 4: 1881-1900

This final volume records the most volatile period in Hawai'i's history. American business interests and the desire for a constitutional monarchy were pitted against the desire of the monarchs, Kalakaua and Lili'uokalani, to strengthen the power of the throne. The convulsions of the 1887 and 1889 revolutions were succeeded by the overthrow of the monarchy in January 1893. Documents revealing the struggle over annexation, beginning in 1893, and the counterrevolution of 1895 are an important component of this volume.
