In the 125 year history of the "Molokai Leprosy Settlement," as it was once known, more than 7000 of the afflicted, young and old, were involuntarily confined for life to the ocean-fronted and cliff-backed tongue of land that is Kalaupapa.

Generously illustrated with maps, manuscripts, and an extensive record of photos, some previously unpublished
