The Eventful History of the Mutiny and Piratical Seizure of H.M.S. Bounty: Its Cause and Consequences (1831) by Sir John Barrow is viewed as the classic example of the mutiny on the Bounty. It incorporates a description of the island of Tahiti, and a story of events from the embarkation of the Bounty in 1787 through to the trail of a portion of the mutineers in 1792 and the endurance of others on Pitcairn Island. The story is told with the help of the first reports for the case, which Borrow critically evaluates.It was first published in 1831 by John Murray as the 25th volume in their Family Library series. An American release followed under the title A Description of Pitcairn’s island and its Inhabitants: The many later reissues incorporate a 1936 Oxford World’s Works Classics edition.
