This early work is Isabella Lucy Bird 1875 travelogue, "The Hawaiian
Archipelago". Having travelled to the area for health reasons, Bird
found herself spending almost seven months traversing the islands,
exploring mountains, visiting active volcanoes, and living amongst the
natives. An interesting and insightful account, this volume is highly
recommended for fans of historical travel writings, and would make for a
fantastic addition to any collection. Isabella Lucy Bird (1831-1904) was
an English explorer, author, and naturalist. Many classic books such as
this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing
this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete
with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
