Kalakaua’s Reign: A Sketch of Hawaiian History is a historical account written by William De Witt Alexander in 1894. The book explores the reign of King Kalakaua, who ruled the Kingdom of Hawaii from 1874 until his death in 1891. Alexander provides a detailed overview of the political, social, and economic conditions of Hawaii during Kalakaua’s reign, including the king’s controversial efforts to modernize the kingdom and his struggle to maintain Hawaiian independence in the face of increasing pressure from foreign powers. The book also delves into the cultural and religious traditions of the Hawaiian people, as well as the impact of Western influences on Hawaiian society. Overall, Kalakaua’s Reign offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal period in Hawaiian history and sheds light on the complex issues facing the kingdom during this time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
