This collection of vintage postcards of Kauai spans 100 years, beginning with Hawaii's annexation and Kauai's history as a tourist destination. Postcards bring back the history of Kauai from the earliest visitors, arriving first by sailing vessel and then steamers to the infancy of air travel. The reader will be reminded of the glory years of the Kauai Surf, the Coco Palms, and the Hanalei Plantation, showing as many other favorite landmarks as possible that have been lost to time and Mother Nature.
Stormy Cozad, a retired teacher and longtime resident of Kauai, is a writer of history and children's fiction. This is her second book with Arcadia Publishing. In this volume, the author combines her love for history, Kauai, and photography with her extensive postcard collection to once again remind all of the beauty and the magic that is Kauai.
