Thurston's Answer Admits Queen Began Revolution
Lorrin A. Thurston, Hawaiian minister, replies to Blount's report defending the provisional government. He asserts the queen began the revolution January 14, troops landed January 16 to protect citizens, and that the cabinet failed to act with a clear plan. He argues the movement had broad local support and denounces accusations of misaction, detailing meetings, armed groups, and the role of the Americans.
