Kamehameha was a most famous king for bravery and for his great strength; he was the foremost of the great chiefs of Hawaii, from the earliest days, therefore his record1 must be briefly looked over from the time of his lowliness until he was prosperous. Keoua (First), the father of Kamehameha, was the younger brother of Kalaiopuu.2 Another name of Keoua was Kalaninuikupuapaikalaninui. The place where Kamehameha was raised from his childhood up, was at Halawa, in Kohala. Here he became a planter. He planted the trees which are still growing to this day, which are the noni, and other kinds. He also built the temple (heiau) of Hapuu, in Halawa. Thus were spent his days when he was poor and destitute of land. Of Kamehameha’s person, he had a large body, which looked to be solidly built, and was very broad on the shoulders. He was full formed without defects, and there was an abundance of muscles on his neck.
