Autor

Sheldon Dibble was born on January 26, 1809, in Skaneateles, New York, and became a prominent missionary in Hawaii. He is best known for his work in organizing one of the first books on Hawaiian history, which helped to preserve important cultural and historical knowledge about the islands. Dibble's mission was not only focused on spreading Christianity but also on encouraging intellectual development among the Hawaiian people. He inspired many students, especially at Lahainaluna High School, to engage in writing and research, thus contributing to the early documentation of Hawaiian history and culture. His efforts were instrumental in promoting education and literacy among the Hawaiian people during a period of cultural transition. Dibble's life was tragically short, as he died on January 22, 1845, at the age of 35, in Hawaii. His legacy, however, lives on through his contributions to Hawaiian history and the development of education in the islands.
