(Hawaii - Ruth Ke'elikolani, Known As Princess Ruth) (1826-1883) Princess Ruth was a member of both the Kamehameha and Kalakaua Dynasties and Governor of the Island of Hawaii. She was the richest woman and largest landholder in the Kingdom of Hawaii. Original survey notes in pencil made by Erdman Baldwin in 1880 for the property known as "Kaakopua," owned by Princess Ruth, 4 pp, 12½"x8", plus a cover page. Very good; light soiling and a few edge chips, partially affecting a few words. These notes settled a land dispute, allowing Ruth clear title to the property on which she built her famous home, where she resided with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Reed Bishop; Eunice Pauahi Bishop inherited the property and today it is the home of Central Intermediate School.
Estimated Value $250 - 300.
