About this book
Old Samoan life and belief are the subject of this 1884 account by George Turner of the London Missionary Society. Its twenty-two chapters begin with the position of the islands and their early European visitors, then cover gods and religion, childhood, food, clothing, amusements, houses, canoes, government and war. Later sections give the stories of the heavens and of the origin of fire, and the political divisions and places of note on Upolu and Savaii. This text follows the 1984 reprint by the Institute of Pacific Studies at the University of the South Pacific.
