"The Eventful History of the Mutiny and Piratical Seizure of H.M.S. Bounty: Its Cause and Consequences" by Sir John Barrow is a memoir published in 1831. This classic account chronicles the infamous mutiny on the Bounty through original documents from the case. Barrow traces events from the ship's 1787 embarkation through the 1792 trial of mutineers and the remarkable survival of others on Pitcairn Island. The work includes descriptions of Tahiti and critically evaluates primary sources to reveal the causes and consequences of one of naval history's most dramatic rebellions.
