Chase investigates the causes behind the break-off movement of Hawaiian Saints from the Church in 1847, analyzing the dispositions, circumstances, and practices present during the crisis. Utilizing eye witness accounts, Lance discusses the Mission president's decision to list awa, a tuber that the Hawaiians used against various ailments, as a violation of the Word of Wisdom, which the locals violently protested.
