mk30In the category "the past isn't gone. it's not even past", here is a building that still says "hakalau plantation company", because Hawai'i was once covered by sugar plantations.
That past is literally still in the landscape... it's even clearly-labeled! (A lot of the rest of that history is less apparent in the landscape if you don't know which lands used to be sugar lands. but this one is just right there, sitting on the side of the road. I don't know if anyone uses it for anything.)

Looking forward to getting my hands on this!
Not to be confused with the early and still-useful Cambridge History of Pacific Islanders.
