Here, Hill is shown instead as someone alert to the full scope and power of the British empire, to the geopolitics of international imperial competition, to the ins and outs of naval command, the vicissitudes of court politics, and, as such, to Pitcairn's symbolic power for the British empire more broadly"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H B Hill Ne Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library R -- Hawaiian & Pacific H B Hill Ne Non Circulating Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Biography B Hill Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Hawaiian Biography H B Hill Ne Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Hawaiian Biography H B Hill Ne Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Hawaiian Biography H B Hill Ne Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Hawaiian Biography H B Hill Ne Checked In Add Copy to MyList
