Description

Explore the gripping history of one of the most mysterious maritime stories ever told. Pitcairn Island: Life and Death in Eden provides a deep look into the events following the HMS Bounty mutiny in January 1790. When Fletcher Christian, eight sailors, and a group of Polynesian men, Tahitian women, and one baby landed on this tiny, uninhabited island, they burned their boat to prevent any return to the known world. This book goes beyond standard historical accounts. It examines the original purposes of the Bounty's voyage and the reasons behind the mutiny, but it focuses heavily on the dramatic consequences of their isolation. Readers will follow the story of the fifteen men who landed on the island and the subsequent events that unfolded during their twenty-year disappearance from the world. This is a detailed historical account of life, survival, and the consequences of choosing total isolation in a remote Eden.
