The Saga of the Bounty
Irving Anthony, Ed., 1935, 358 pages, illustrations.
One copy available
Description:
Of his excellent editing of various sources of the Bounty Saga in his book, Anthony writes: "Forty-four seamen, a botanist and a gardener shared the cluttered ship with four four-pound guns and ten swivels.  The ship was victualled for eighteen months.  Bligh's meanness cheated them in the purchasing of the stores and skimped the rations served.  Severe in command, he took no heed of the hardships of irregular service.  He quarreled with his master and his surgeon at the outset of the voyage, but all that belongs to the story.  Let the dead speak and the book get on with its purpose.

Mister Christian
William Kinsolving, 1996, 380 pages.
One copy available
Description:
Of this book author Stuart Woods writes: "Mister Christian is an utterly convincing, brilliantly realized extension of one of history's greatest stories, one that I, like other readers, had sadly thought to be long finished.  Kinsolving has, in research, language, and sheer storytelling power, given Fletcher Christian new and astonishing life; and his readers a fresh and absorbing tale to keep them late at their firesides.  The novel cries out for a sequel!"

This is the authorative work on the life of William Bligh, captain of HMS Bounty, who retired as a Vice Admiral of the Blue of the British Royal Navy.
