The Hawaiian Islands: Their Progress And Condition Under Missionary Labors is a historical book written by Rufus Anderson in 1864. The book provides a detailed account of the progress and condition of the Hawaiian Islands under the influence of the American Protestant missionaries who arrived in the islands in the early 19th century. Anderson, who was a prominent member of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, offers a comprehensive overview of the social, economic, and political developments that took place in Hawaii during the missionary period. He discusses the impact of Christianity on the Hawaiian people, the establishment of schools and churches, the introduction of Western medicine and technology, and the transformation of the Hawaiian economy from a subsistence-based system to a market-oriented one. The book also includes descriptions of the natural beauty of the islands, their flora and fauna, and the customs and traditions of the Hawaiian people. The Hawaiian Islands: Their Progress And Condition Under Missionary Labors is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Hawaii, the role of missionaries in shaping its culture and society, and the impact of colonialism on indigenous peoples.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
