July 08, 1837
SANDWICH ISLAND GAZETTE & JOURNAL OF COMMERCE, Honolulu, Oahu, July 8, 1837 This was the very first English language newspaper published in Hawaii, known as the Sandwich Islands at that time. This is the volume 1, number 50 issue. It was preceded only by two Hawaiian language newspapers, which began in 1834.
The newspaper contained interesting accounts of trade, ships entering the harbor, and daily life. As Hawaii's first commercial journalism venture, it did job printing. The editor was Bostonian Stephen S. MacIntosh, who opposed the policies of the Protestant mission and advocated religious toleration.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, very minor foxing, nice condition.
