Bibliography of Liliʻuokalani explained

Liliʻuokalani (pronounced as /haw/; September 2, 1838 – November 11, 1917) was the first queen regnant and last sovereign monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. After King Kalākaua brother and heir apparent Leleiohoku II died April 9, 1877, he proclaimed his sister Liliʻuokalani to be his successor.[1] Upon his 1891 death, she ascended to the throne, ruling from January 29, 1891, until the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi on January 17, 1893.

She was tried and convicted in 1895 by the military commission of the Republic of Hawaii for involvement in a counter-revolution. Her sentence was commuted to imprisonment in the palace. The composer of "Aloha ʻOe"[2] and numerous other works, she wrote her autobiography Hawaiʻi's Story by Hawaiʻi's Queen during her confinement,[3] and began the English translation of the Kumulipo, the Hawaiian story of creation. After her pardon in 1896, she spent an extended period with family in Boston, while traveling to Washington, DC to petition against the American annexation of Hawaiʻi. Her translation of the Kumulipo was published by Lee & Shepard in 1897.[4]
