Mutiny of the Bounty and Story of Pitcairn Island 1790-1894
By Rosalind Amelia Young (A Native Daughter)
This book once belonged to Eleanor Warren of Pitcairn Island, a descendant of American Samuel Russell Warren who came and settled on the island living alonside the mutineer families.
Scarce New Zealand Imprint. Published by Pastor David Nield in Tasman Street, Wellington, New Zealand, 1924. Eighth Printing. Hardback. Original publisher's illustrated red cloth, lettered black on spine and front cover.. 8vo. pp 266. 29 illustrations.
CONDITION
The book is in very good condition throughout. Binding also very good.
The author was the great-grandaughter of one of the mutineers from the Bounty.
This book has an interesting inscription on the front endpaper revealing that the book was gifted to somebody for xmas in 1934 from an Eleanor Warren who was also a daughter of Pitcairn Island . . below her inscription somebody has writen a note pointing the reader to page 260 of the Appendix where they will find the family name, Warren (see last two photo provided above).
The Descendants of the Bounty mutineers and their Tahitan consorts include the modern day Pitcairn Islanders as well as most of the population of Norfolk Island. Their descendants also live in New Zealand, Australia, and the United States. Because of the scarcity of people on the island, many of the mutineers' children and grandchildren intermarried, with some marrying cousins and second cousins. Occasionally a new person would arrive on the island bringing with them a new surname (like the American Samuel Russell Warren, whose descendants still live on the island today).
The Pitcairn Islands are a group of four volcanic islands in the southern Pacific Ocean that form the sole British Overseas Territory in the Pacific Ocean. The four islands—Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie, and Oeno—are scattered across several hundred miles of ocean and have a combined land area of about 18 square miles (47 km2). Henderson Island accounts for 86% of the land area, but only Pitcairn Island is inhabited. The islands nearest to the Pitcairn Islands are Mangareva (of French Polynesia) to the west and Easter Island to the east.
Pitcairn is the least populous national jurisdiction in the world. The Pitcairn Islanders are a biracial ethnic group descended mostly from nine Bounty mutineers and a handful of Tahitian consorts – as is still apparent from the surnames of many of the islanders. The mutiny and its aftermath have been the subject of many books and films. As of January 2020, the territory had only 47 permanent inhabitants.
