From the author of Lafayette in the Somewhat United States comes an examination of Hawaii, the place where Manifest Destiny got a sunburn.

Of all the countries the United States invaded or colonized in 1898, Sarah Vowell considers the story of the Americanization of Hawaii to be the most intriguing. From the arrival of the New England missionaries in 1820, who came to Christianize the local heathens, to the coup d'état led by the missionaries' sons in 1893, overthrowing the Hawaiian queen, the events leading up to American annexation feature a cast of beguiling, if often appalling or tragic, characters. Whalers who fire cannons at the Bible-thumpers denying them their god-given right to whores; an incestuous princess pulled between her new god and her brother-husband; sugar barons, con men, Theodore Roosevelt, and the last Hawaiian queen, a songwriter whose sentimental ode "Aloha 'Oe" serenaded the first Hawaiian-born president of the United States during his 2009 inaugural parade.

With her trademark wry insights and reporting, Vowell sets out to discover the odd, emblematic, and exceptional history of the fiftieth state. In examining the place where Manifest Destiny got a sunburn, she finds America again, warts and all.

Stands up to my aggressive chewer.
The squeaker stopped working almost immediately, but my dog didn't care too much. He still keeps chewing on these balls, and so far, they have stood up to his tough jaws.

Dogs love the bounce and squeak
My dog loves these and he isn’t a fetching breed. He loves chewing on them while they squeak. He’s a Great Pyrenees and the chewing is good for keeping him occupied when I’m not home. The neighbor dog, sneaks through the communicating gate and will steal one for herself. She’s a cattle dog/ husky cross. The other neighbor has a lab and he absolutely LOVES how these ball love to fly through the air and bounce so well when they hit the ground. Get them

No, squeaky
The rubber balls are super stiff, which is good or bad depending on your dog. The squeaker is awful and terribly designed, however, It squeaks the first time you or your dog squeezes it, then it falls off inside and it becomes a rattler instead of squeaker. I thought it was a one off thing, but nope, all of the balls had the squeaker fall off inside rattling by the 2nd attempt to make it squeak.

BEST EVER!!!
We have a medium sized furbaby. He is the most gentle baby! Except with toys. He destroys everything he gets within 5 minutes. Even the aggressive chewer toys. He’s had these for a solid 24 hours. STILL INTACT!!! He’s loving them! Well, maybe he’s actually frustrated with them! Lol. He was able to stop it from squeaking… but he’s still having a ball playing with them. Not a single rip. I think we may need to put them up for a while to give his jaws and mind a break. BUY THEM NOW!!! Your baby will love them. And if they usually tear things up…. They will be able to enjoy this for a long time!!!
