Lihu‘e: Root and Branch of a Hawai‘i Town By Pat L. Griffin, hardcopy

From the book jacket: Lihu‘e, Kaua‘i is both representative of and uniquely different from other communities in Hawai‘i. Its origins are rooted in the early days of the sugar industry. Over time, this once obscure hamlet branched out to become the island’s county seat, commercial core, and transport hub–the Heart of Kaua‘i. “Lihu‘e:  Root and Branch of a Hawai‘i Town” traces that history from its beginnings to the present day.
