Description
A front cover of Austin’s Hawaiian Weekly from October 1899, with the tagline “Devoted to the Interests of the Pacific”. This description ties in with the paper’s address of the Boer War later in one of its articles. The description of the paper and its context, explains its founder, Franklin H. Austin, wished to generate interest in Hawaii as a tourist destination. Austin was also interested in the development of the Pacific Ocean region, which is demonstrated in the paper’s political tagline. Austin’s Hawaiian Weekly ran from 5th August to 17th September 1899. This source relates to themes of U.S. control, patriotism and tourism.
