Haleakalä: A History of the Maui Mountain
But it's more
than
“the crater”. . .
From ancient times to modern, Haleakalä has been wahi pana―a storied place.
Haleakalä: A History of the Maui Mountain shares rich historical accounts and vintage photographs to tell of geology, ancient myth, silversword and nënë, Depression-era building projects and the community effort that created a national park.
Discover these Haleakalä stories and more:
– Hawaiians of old braved the chilly heights to study the stars
– Herds of cattle grazed and goats ran wild in the crater, destroying native plants.
– Early tourists on horseback toiled up rugged slopes to a rustic rest house.
–Boy
Scouts helped save the Hawaiian goose―the nënë―from
extinction.
