`Iolani Palace on A&E's Treasure!
Apparently this morning A&E rebroadcast their
Treasure! episode on `Iolani Palace, called "Hawaii's Lost Riches," and although
I don't see it scheduled to appear again, you can order
a copy of the video.From the
program
description......when a
group of young sugar barons took over the Hawaiian government and deposed the
royal family in 1891, the palace was ruthlessly stripped of its treasures and a
large part of Hawaii's heritage seemed lost forever.
...While
their efforts cannot undo the injustice of long ago, the home of Hawaii's last
king and queen once again shines brilliantly in the island sun, and the
recovered artifacts help tell the story of a unique kingdom that stood on the
cusp of different worlds.
