This review is from: Sugar Water: Hawaii's Plantation Ditches (Paperback)
The author describes the development of mountain sources of water and the tunnels and ditches that brought it to the sugar plantations. Then she weaves in the history of the sugar industry which changed the subsistence economy of the Hawaiians forever and brought Hawaii into the modern world. While doing this skillfully in a clear style she also weaves in much of the history of the islands. If you have any interest in Hawaii the book will fascinate you.

This review is from: Sugar Water: Hawaii's Plantation Ditches (Paperback)
Really well written and researched. I learned a lot about Hawaiian history and early politics along with the fascinating story of the water systems. Incredible what they achieved back then with limited resources and mechanical power. Some good photos too.
