I was looking at this book as well.
John Papa `I`i, one of the leading citizens of the Hawaiian kingdom during the 19th century, left a unique and invaluable record in "Fragments of Hawaiian History." Brought up for a life of service to the high chiefs, John Papa `I`i (1800-1870) describes life under the Kamehamehas with the authority of a first-hand witness, presenting personal experiences and revealing the pattern of Hawaiian culture as it actually functioned.
