Information
The Bounty mutineers were a lost tribe in the South Pacific, who finally found a safe haven in Pitcairn Island. There they, along with a small group of Tahitian men and women, hid from the world and established a far from ideal community. Racism and greed created divisions, blood was spilt - in the end, few would make it off the isolated island of Pitcairn alive. The descendents of those that stayed, however, more than made up for the failings of their ancestors. They became a model of piety and purity. From the fate of the mutineers to life on the island 200 years later, Robert Nicholson reveals a fascinating story.
