Published in 1875, this account of Bird’s visit to the Hawaiian islands consists of her letters home to her sister. As well as providing an unequaled glimpse into a vanished Hawaii, the letters brim with personal discovery, as Bird, who undertook the journey for health purposes, transforms herself into a brave adventurer.
