About This Item
New York: Viking, 1986. Book. As New. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 10 1/4h x 91/2w. A real nice clean unmarked 190 page first edition hardcover. Here is a history on a topic of perennial interest the mutiny on the Bounty saga and its aftermath. Norfolk and Pitcairn are two island specks in the South Pacific separated by over 3700 miles but joined in a common heritage. Both have been and still are home to the scattered descendants of the Bounty mutineers. By employing a variety of original sources, including Captain Bligh's diaries, and many handsome illustrations, Clarke has compiled an informative, entertaining account ranging from Norfolk's past as a brutal penal colony ("Hell") to the allure of Tahiti for Captain Cook and the men who followed him.

About Warren's Books
I have been selling books since 1976. I am not a mega-lister that just types in an ISBN and paste a message of how great I am or how many books we\I sell. I list each book carefully trying to tell the faults and positives of our book. Most of the time I will tell what the book is about and list if it a first edition, hardcover or has a dust jacket. Photos of books are usually my scan and not a stock photo. If you have any questions, please ask. If you decide to pay with check or money order, please make it out to Warren Hahn, That's me!! I have about 5,200 books online with another 200 to list.
