In addition to learning about how American missionaries brought Christianity to the Hawaiian Islands, you’ll get a close look at the message of gratitude inscribed on this precious volume—a royal message from Queen Kaʻahumanu herself:

“To the American Bible Society, in token of gratitude to that honourable body for the liberal aid in furnishing the Sandwich Islands with the precious Gospel of salvation.”
