Talk:John Lot Kaulukoʻu

Quote

In Twigg-Smith's book, there is this quote attributed to him: annexation “I regard Annexation,”...."the best thing that could happen for Hawai‘i, both for the native and foreign population . . . I rejoice heartily that it has come.”" [1] [2]. I can't seem to find this exact quote which is supposed to be in the San Francisco Chronicle from July 28, 1898.

There is an interview attributed to William Chauncey Wilder[3] that doesn't exactly fit but is close. So I wonder if Twigg-Smith misquoted Kaulukoʻu? User:Maile66 do you know if you can track down the origin of the quote?KAVEBEAR (talk) 17:09, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

KAVEBEAR Trying to jog my memory. Somewhere in the recent months I saw a quote that was pretty close to that. It wasn't Twigg-Smith. And it doesn't seem to me like it was Kaulukoʻu. But I do believe it was connected to someone on Kalakaua's privy council. And I do remember thinking how odd it was for this to have come from someone connected to Kalakaua. Perhaps an obit. That I recall, my last research was trying to connected David Kinimaka to 20/21 century Honolulu entertainer Iva Kinimaka."Kinimaka Clan Celebrates Royal Ties". Newspapers.com. Honolulu Star Advertiser.; "David Kinimaka's children". Newspapers.com. Honolulu Star-Advertiser. I don't remember having time to do research since I was looking into Kinimaka. I have the feeling that might be one of those quotes attributed to a lot of people. That quote just sticks in my head that I have seen it within the last year, but can't tie it down right now. — Maile (talk) 19:03, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
