Location Waiohinu, HI, United States
Description

Nucciarone, "Alexander Cartwright", p. 196-208 discusses early baseball in Hawaii. She references the memoirs of William Richards Castle (1849-1935), who played baseball while at Oberlin College in Ohio and, in the late 1860s or early 1870s, saw "natives' playing baseball at Waiohinu, on the south end of the Island in Kau.

Waiohinu is in the Kau district of the "big island." Martin's "Alexander Cartwright" misidentifies the reference as the island of Kauai.
