Laurence H. Dorcy Jr., also known as "Baron", was the great grandson of railroad magnate, James Jerome Hill. Born into a world of privilege in 1935, Baron became heir to a substantial fortune. This color photo biography illustrates some of this gifted man's exciting endeavors, such as the construction of the Hawaiian Chieftain, a tall ship that continues to educate youth on the Pacic coast of America. This book describes Baron's rich family ancestry, his childhood during WWII, his Air Force duty in Strategic Air Command in the 1950s, his beach days in French Polynesia in the 60s, explorations between California, Hawaii and the French Polynesian islands, the Hawaiian Chieftain's maiden voyage to Tahiti, and the breathtaking creation of his nal estate in Maui. After his passing in 2011, the formation of the Laurence H. Dorcy Hawaiian Foundation, which generously supports charities in Hawaii, ensures that his legacy lives on.
