On July 30, 1889, Robert W. Wilcox mounted a failed attempt to overthrow the Cabinet of the time, and return the throne to powers that had been diminished through the "Bayonet Constitution" of 1887, which had stripped the Hawaiian monarchy of its power. Ka Buke Mo‘olelo o Honorable Robert William Wilikoki  is the account of that one-day battle, of the legal trials that followed, and of the man who led the only armed rebellion during the Hawaiian monarchy.
