What Others Are Saying:
“I love this book. If you want to know about legends, geology, history, insects, endangered birds, endemic plants, lost hikers, romantic cowboys, hell-bent ranchers, this is it! Ms. Engledow writes beautifully about this important wao akua, ‘region of the gods’.”
—MJ Harden, author of Voices of Wisdom: Hawaiian Elders Speak
“Haleakala: A History of the Maui Mountain offers both pleasure and treasure: a joy to read and information you can rely on. I couldn’t recommend it more highly.”
—Gail (Bartholomew) Ainsworth, author of Maui Remembers: A Local History
“A wonderfully researched work on a majestic and mysterious place.”
—Amazon reviewer
“This is the story of Haleakala that only someone who has lived on Maui for decades and knows how to get the “inside stories” can write. Not only is the book a wealth of information on the formation of the “crater” and the difficulties with endangered species, but the people that have influenced this magical spot make it a compelling story. Engledow did her homework and knows how to write!”
