Pitcairn's Island is the third installment in the fictional trilogy by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall about the mutiny aboard HMS Bounty.
It is preceded by Mutiny on the "Bounty" and Men Against the Sea.
The novel first appeared in The Saturday Evening Post (from 22 September 1934 through 3 November 1934) then was published in 1934 by Little, Brown and Company.
After two unsuccessful attempts to settle on the island of Tubuai, the Bounty mutineers returned to Tahiti where they parted company.
Then, in 1808, the American sailing vessel Topaz discovered a thriving community of mixed blood on Pitcairn Island under the rule of "Alexander Smith" (the assumed name of John Adams, the only survivor of the fifteen men who had landed there so long before).
