Lt.Youngspent slightly more than a year inHawaiiat avery delicate and eventful time in history. Upon returning to theUnited States he organized and wrote-up his notes. In finding that thecurrent administration’s public accounting of the events differedconsiderably from that which he knew to be correct, Lt.Youngpromptlyrequested permission from the military to publish his manuscript.After two months wait, permission was denied. Eventually, following achange in the political administration and a return trip toHawaii,LucienYoungin 1898 self-published the first edition which he calledTHE BOSTON AT HAWAII. The following year 1899, after including someadditional information regarding the history, geography, details aboutthe people, population, culture, etc., Doubleday & McClure Co. appliedfor a new copyright and handled the subsequent publishing task on hisbehalf. NOTE: THE BOSTON AT HAWAII included several items that were omitted from THE REAL HAWAII, those being 1) The “BOSTON” photo, 2) “A Hula Girl” photo: perhaps a bit risque for the new administration and 3) a ten page fold out map, The SOUTH SIDE of OAHU.” THE REAL HAWAII presents with 371 pages compared to the 317 of THE BOSTON AT HAWAII. THE REALHAWAIIcombines an interesting overall narrativeof theHawaiianIslands of the 1890s plus one of a very few, firsthandaccounts, some 200 pages regarding the preceding events and theactual overthrow of the Monarchy. An extensive series ofAPPENDICES give an in depth statistical presentation ofHawaiiseconomic position during the late 1800s. In recent years, public interest in these historic eventshas increased with reprinted contemporary editions being made available. Originalprintings from the turn of the century however, particularly non-library copies have becomeexceedingly rare. In very nice condition, this REALHAWAIIwould be aprize addition to an Island collection.
