Ladd & Hooper Lease Ties to Hawaiian Land Case
Librarian Lydecker uncovers a 1840 lease by Kamehameha II granting Brimsmade Ladd and Hooper control of unoccupied Sandwich Island lands for a nominal rent. It spurred the failed 1840 damages suit of $378,000, led to Belgian Company ventures, and drew government disputes over land rights and profits. Local federal officers visited Mr. Straus to discuss quarantine and port matters.

The origin of these sets remains unclear.
