James Wood Bush
James Wood Bush (c. 1844 – April 24, 1906) was a citizen of the Kingdom of Hawaii who fought in the American Civil War; he was one of a small number of Hawaiians to do so. In later life he converted to Mormonism and became an active member of the Hawaiian Mission.
==Early life ==
James Wood Bush was born in Honolulu. The date of his birth is uncertain; different sources claim it to be October 1844, 1845 or 1848.〔〔
He was the son of George Henry Bush (1807–1853), a native of Suffolk, England, who went to Hawaii in 1825, and his Hawaiian wife.
Bush was thus of mixed native Hawaiian and Caucasian descent, known as ''hapa haole'' in Hawaiian, although in his lifetime he was referred to as a half-caste. His older brother was John Edward Bush, who became a newspaper publisher and politician, serving as a cabinet minister under King Kalākaua and as royal governor of Kauaʻi.〔 Little is known about Bush's life before 1864. Like his brother, he began his career as a sailor working on either merchant or whaling ships in the Pacific. Hawaiian sailors were highly regarded in the 18th- and 19th-century maritime industry.
