Hawaiian Folk Tales by Thomas G. Thrum

From the Publisher

Hawaiian Folk Tales: A Collection of Native Legends (1907) was compiled and edited by Thomas George Thrum (1843-1932). "It is becoming more and more a matter of regret that a larger amount of systematic effort was not established in early years for the gathering and preservation of the folk-lore of the Hawaiians. The world is under lasting obligations to the late Judge Fornander, and to Dr. Rae before him, for their painstaking efforts to gather the history of this people and trace their origin and migrations; but Fornander's work only has seen the light, Dr. Rae's manuscript having been accidentally destroyed by fire.
