"Mutiny of the Bounty and Story of Pitcairn Island, 1790-1894" by Rosalind Amelia Young is a late 1800s historical telling that recounts the gripping story of the mutineers from the HMS Bounty and how they forged an existence on the secluded Pitcairn Island. The book recounts their initial tranquility and explores their trials as they establish a community. Beginning with the revolt led by Fletcher Christian, the author explores the conflicts with Captain Bligh that started the mutiny, and transitions into the challenges of settling the island. It becomes clear that even in paradise, the mutineers must manage the conflicts that start to develop, which hints at the darker times that would come for the isolated community.
