| 520 | _a"Samoa, A Hundred Years Ago And Long Before" by George Turner is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The book explores the geography, culture, and belief systems of the Samoan islands, offering an insightful look into the lives and traditions of the native inhabitants. It delves into various aspects, including early visitors to the islands, mythology, religious practices, social structures, and the natural environment, making it a comprehensive resource for understanding Samoan heritage. The opening of the book introduces readers to Samoa's geographical position and its rich volcanic landscape. Turner provides descriptions of the islands' topography, including Savaii, Upolu, and Tutuila, emphasizing their lush vegetation and natural features. He also discusses the history of early explorers who documented these islands, such as Dutch, French, and British navigators. Furthermore, the text lays the groundwork for understanding the local cosmology, presenting creation myths and genealogies that reflect the Samoans' connection to their land and deities. The initial chapters serve to establish a framework for later discussions on Samoan culture and spirituality, setting the stage for an in-depth exploration of life in Samoa and the impact of external influences over time.
