About This Book

An island native recounts the voyage and subsequent mutiny aboard a British naval vessel, the secret settlement of mutineers with Polynesian companions on a remote Pacific isle, and the turbulent years that followed, marked by internal violence, survival, and the gradual formation of a settled community. The narrative follows successive generations, everyday life, customs, and the influence of missionaries and visiting naval ships, records several shipwrecks and a later community relocation, and organizes events chronologically with illustrations and eyewitness recollections to provide a compact social and historical portrait.
