Description: |
ex libris with the usual markings, dust jacket has plastic sleeve contains drawings, maps, paintings and photographs This well-researched book relates the story how on the morning “of April 28, 1789, in the far reaches of the South Pacific, Master’s Mate Fletcher Christian and three other men, armed with cutlasses, bayonets and a musket, apprehended Lieutenant William blight and placed him and eighteen officers and crewmen in a small boat. The mutiny on board His Majesty’s armed transport Bounty impelled every man on a fateful course.” The author has gathered details from the wills, diaries and correspondence of figures of the age and from obscure news items and from the biographies and family pedigrees of some of the minor players in this infamous episode. There is an extensive bibliography that will greatly interest the reader. |
