Sites of Oahu
Sites of Oahu is widely considered the definitive study of archaeological and historical sites of Oahu. In addition to the locating of archaeological sites, the material consists of history, tradition, legends, place names, and land descriptions because of the great importance of these things to the Hawaiian way of life and because of the close relationship to the sites in general.
The information includes materials reprinted from the 1920's and 1930's, myths and legends associated with natural landmarks and traditional sites, extracts from early newspaper articles, and previously unpublished information collected from interviews.
The material was collected and organized by two people: Elspeth P. Sterling worked on the districts of Ewa, Waianae, Waialua, and Wahiawa; and Catherine C. Summers on the districts of Koolauloa, Koolaupoko, and Kona.
