Emmett Cahill offers understanding of local history through his book Hawaiian Stamps, taking us back to 1851 when Honolulu was a small town and postmaster Henry M. Whitney doubled as newspaper editor and government printer. In 1851, Hawai`i issued its first stamps, which were called the Missionaries since Missionaries received and sent most of the mail. It was the same year Canada issued its first stamps: Three Penny Beavers.
