The infamous Bounty mutiny of 1790 culminated in nine mutineers taking up residence on the small Pitcairn Island in the South Pacific. Rivalry over Polynesian women soon led to homicidal strife and, by 1808 John Adams was the only mutineer alive. Beginning with a background look at the circumstances surrounding the mutiny, this volume provides a detailed history of the Pitcairn islanders from the original settlement to the opening years of the 21st century.
