Ni'ihau, the last Hawaiian island / Ruth M. Tabrah. Ruth Tabrah, 1921

Francis Sinclair, born in Edinburgh, emigrated to New Zealand with his family in 1839. The Sinclair family later travelled extensively until they purchased the Island of Ni'ihau from King Kamehameha in 1864 with the intention of establishing a ranch. Francis Sinclair was the appointed manager of this family venture until 1883. He was described as a planter, rancher, author and poet. He died on the Isle of Jersey in 1916.
