Sugarcane Days: Remembering Maui’s Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Compan
(From the Publisher)
Rarely seen photos recall the days when much of Maui life centered on HC&S and its community. As Hawai‘i’s last sugar plantation completed its final harvest, writer Jill Engledow collected nostalgic pictures and stories from the Alexander & Baldwin Sugar Museum archives.
About the author: Jill Engledow began her Island life at age thirteen, when she moved with her family from Texas to Hilo. Jill fell in love with Hawaii--its land, people, music, and culture. After she arrived on Maui, in 1968, this love affair with the Islands blossomed into a committed long-term relationship.
Jill’s writing has chronicled Maui life for more than forty years, most notably during her seventeen years at The Maui News. An award-winning journalist, she is also author or co-author of several books about the history of Maui. Now she uses the history she has studied for her nonfiction books and articles to write novels about women making lives for themselves on Maui in years gone by.
