EXPLORING LOST HAWAII
Written & Illustrated by Ellie and William Crowe


Exploring Lost Hawaii takes the reader on an intriguing pilgrimage into Hawaii's
past. It skillfully weaves a collection of stories that are both beautiful yet
dark, mysterious and supernatural, and always fascinating. In Exploring Lost
Hawaii, Ellie Crowe and William Crowe have created a unique and informative
guidebook that provides a tour of Hawaii never seen by most visitors - and even
many locals. Covering all of the major Hawaiian Islands, this book takes an
unexpected route away from that of the traditional guidebook. The result is a
journey into the lands of the Hawaii of old - places of powerful alii, wise
kahuna, sacred heiau, and mysterious menehune. Sites of historical and cultural
significance on each island are described in detail, and directions are given to
each site. Exploring Lost Hawaii will take you on a journey through a Hawaii
that will not be easily forgotten.

Excerpts from Columnist Bob Krauss' Review Honolulu Advertiser, Saturday April
28, 2001

"...a laudable purpose, introducing visitors to Hawaiian culture by viewing
ancient sites...A good deal of research went into this book, and Ellie Crowe
cites her sources. In addition, she adds her personal experiences at the sites,
or that of someone who lives nearby. It's an effective technique that bridges
the gap between ancient culture and today. William Crowe consistently finds a
way with light and perspective to take dramatic photos of heiau ruins, healing
stones and bare lava carved with petroglyphs. This isn't easy."
