Product Details
In 1819, seventeen-year-old Kepa, exiled from his home on Maui joins the crew of the Natik Maid. When the ship is destroyed in a storm off Santa Barbara, Kepa begins a life of adventure far from home that takes him up and down the coast, from the Indian Wars in California to the Hudson's Bay Company fur trading posts and the 1849 gold rush in California. The novel captures the beauty and spirit of the landscape and the people who lived there. Kepa is a resourceful, resilient character whose encounters with historical figures and events show just how powerfully Hawaiian migrants have shaped politics, trade, and industry on the Pacific Coast of North America.
