The history of today

OCTOBER 28


The Pacific Commercial Advertiser on Oct. 28, 1897, carried a front-page story on Princess Ka'iulani's arrival in New York on the American line steamship Paris on Oct. 16. The princess and her father, A.S. Cleghorn, were to stay in New York a week, travel to San Francisco, and board the liner Australia on Nov. 2 for their return to Hawai'i on the last leg of the trip.
