The HMS Bounty was an 18th-century Royal Navy merchant ship that is best remembered for the epic mutiny that occurred under the leadership of Captain William Bligh. In the Spring of 1789, Fletcher Christian led the mutiny and eventually settled in Tahiti. John Barrows The Eventful of History of the Mutiny is an important retelling of the events that led to the mutiny, the seizure, and Blighs navigation to safety.

This book is also an important reference to 18th-century Pacific islands and voyages, the HMS Pandora excursion to apprehend the mutineers, as well as information on botany, geography, and local tribes.
