Author: Charles Warren Stoddard

This title tells the story of the leper colony on the Hawaiian island of Molokai. The author, who was a journalist and writer, visited the colony in 1884 and spent several months there. He wrote about the lives of the people who had been exiled to the colony because they had contracted leprosy, a disease that was feared and misunderstood at the time. The book describes the harsh conditions of the colony, where the lepers were forced to live in isolation and were often treated as outcasts by society. Stoddard tells the stories of individual lepers, their struggles, and their courage in the face of adversity. He also writes about the efforts of Father Damien, a Catholic priest who devoted his life to helping the lepers on Molokai. The Lepers of Molokai is a powerful and moving account of a little-known chapter in Hawaiian history. It sheds light on the plight of those who were afflicted with leprosy and the challenges they faced in a society that shunned them.
