Preface to the 2019 Edition

This a book by Robert Louis Stevenson in which he relates events in Samoa surrounding the civil wars and foreign interference in local affairs.
I am annotating it and adding a comprehensive glossary, chronology and index to make it more accessible to modern readers.
I am also concurrently working on a French translation of this which will be followed by a Samoan translation.
The material written by Robert Louis Stevenson is in the public domain but the new material I am adding is protected by copyright.
