      About This Book

      History records that on April 28, 1789 Fletcher Christian led a mutiny of the crew of the HMS Bounty. Captain William Bligh and eighteen other men were put aboard a 23 foot launch south of the island of Tofoa in the South Pacific. Afraid of sailors' stories of cannibalism and human sacrifice among islanders in this part of the Pacific, Bligh and his men began a journey of more than 4,000 miles that ultimately led them back to England. And what became of Christian? It is equally well known to historians that he and his crew settled on Pitcairn Island, where descendants of the Bounty still live more than 2 centuries later. What isn't well known is that historical records indicate Fletcher Christian escaped Pitcairn and also returned to England.
