Readable review of the first years of missionary activity on Hawaii by group of New England missionaries who desired to bring God's ways to a pagan people. The most pagan were the foreign ship captains and sailors who only wanted lots of sandalwood, plenty of girls and grog and ways to have fun. Well researched and written, giving a picture of a changing society. Sharp characterizations of various Hawaiian royals and the haoles as well as the missionaries. Covers the years 1820-1826.
