Book Summary :

"In 1957, Dr. Robert Suggs and his wife set sail for the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia. Tghis book is an account of their archaeological investigations on the island of Nuku Hiva, their daily lives with the natives and - most important of all - the chronicle of Marquesan society that their work revealed, spanning the years from the second century B.C. to the present day, through the rise, decline and near obliteration of a vital culture."
