Miriam Michelson was also the author of a "Hawaiian story" published in The Black Cat literary magazine in 1901. It was entitled "An Understudy for a Princess" and concerns someone impersonating the ill-fated Crown Princess of Hawai'i, Victoria Ka'iulani. She was writing barely two years after the real Princess' death, and should probably be credited with writing the first "Ka'iulani fiction" - predating the better known (but far more crudely written) novel "Kaiuolani" by one I. William Adams.
