Jacob O. Adler

Jacob O. Adler

Jacob O. Adler (1913 - 1999) was the professor of economics and business at the University of Hawaii and noted author of the 1966 book, "Claus Spreckels: The Sugar King in Hawaii".

Born in Illinois but residing in Honolulu, Hawaii up until his death, Adler was survived by his wife Thelma and "hanai" (adopted) son Tony Sitachitta. He was inurned at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, Punchbowl.

Adler's "Sugar King" book is used as one source in Jon M. Van Dyke's "Who Owns The Crown Lands of Hawai'i?"; Van Dyke's attempt to address or re-dress the issue of Crown Lands of the Kingdom of Hawai'i and the subsequent 1893 overthrow.

Case-in-point to the power of Adler's book, Van Dyke cites on his page 101 in footnote 15 from Adler's pages 53-54 that "Adler estimated that at the ongoing rate of about $1.50 an acre in 1880, the Crown Lands were worth about $1,500,000..."; whereby this may be construed as a reference point in attempting to calculate the value of Hawaiian lands then (1966 or 1880?) as well as today and may be a key to in the transcending debate on the Kingdom restoration movement.
