The love for Polynesia certainly started before the likes of Donn Beach. Mark Twain spent four years in Hawaii starting in 1866 and wrote a series of very popular articles for The Sacramento Union. It's now available in a couple of books. They're WAY better reading than Michener's tome on the subject.
