Nordhoff, Charles (1887-1947) and James Norman Hall (1887-1951). [The Bounty Trilogy]. Mutiny on the Bounty. 1932. -- Men Against the Sea. 1934. -- Pitcairn's Island. 1934. Boston: Little, Brown, and Company.

8vo. Together, 3 works in 3 volumes, all in original cloth and dust jackets (some toning, darkening to spine of Pitcairn's Island).

FIRST EDITIONS. The Bounty Trilogy presents a fictionalized account of the 1789 mutiny against Lieutenant William Bligh aboard the HMS Bounty. Its main protagonist, Roger Byam, is loosely based on midshipman Peter Haywood, whose true role in the mutiny was never quite clear. Men Against the Sea follows the journey of Bligh and fellow loyalists after they were set to sea by the mutineers, with the success of Mutiny on the Bounty allowing it to be serialized in the Saturday Evening Post in 1933 prior to its publication in book form in January 1934. The final book in the trilogy, Pitcairn's Island, was also serialized in the Saturday Evening Post prior to publication and tells the story of John Adams, the last surviving mutineer from the HMS Bounty, who, along with fourteen others, built a settlement on the island of Tahiti, which was not discovered until 1808.
