“For anyone interested in the Bounty saga, this volume is a most
worthwhile addition to the extant nonfiction reading currently
available.”—Sea History
“[This book] can be expected to add richly and pervasively to
general knowledge of that historically and historiographically
conspicuous incident.”—Mariner’s Mirror
“Editor Maxton . . . has done an excellent job in preparing
Morrison’s works for publication, and supplemented them with a
valuable commentary, which makes After the Bounty a good read for
anyone interested in life at sea in the age of sail or the history
and culture of the South Seas.”—strategypage.com
“It’s a curiously, entertaining and instructive for
age-of-fighting-sail or Herman Melville enthusiasts.”—Naval
Review
“Recommended.”—Choice
“After the Bounty makes a most important contribution to the
literature of the Bounty saga. Through its publication, Morrison’s
enlightening account of the Bounty mutiny becomes available to the
general public for the first time in three quarters of a century.
This book is a ‘must have’ for any Bounty literature
library.”—Herbert Ford, director, Pitcairn Islands Study Center
“[Morrison’s] stories of adventure after the Bounty mutiny makes
for a powerful historical journal packed with nautical adventure
and perfect for any nautical history library.”—Midwest Book
Review
“What a monumental undertaking! Donald Maxton’s passion and
perseverance in pursuing his goal is topped only by his impeccable
scholarship and thorough knowledge of his subject. Kudos and
‘Huzzah for Otaheite’ and for Maxton!”—Éva Wahlroos, contributor,
researcher, and collaborator on English-Tahitian/Tahitian-English
Dictionary and Mutiny and Romance in the South Seas: A Companion to
the Bounty Adventure
“At long last we have here a complete ‘Everyman’s Morrison,’
prepared by an established, devoted authority on the Bounty, and
for the first time making available to a wider audience a readable
and useful modern version of one of the great classic sources to
our knowledge not only of the Bounty affair but also of late
eighteenth-century Polynesia.”—Rolf E. Du Rietz, author of
Bibliotheca Polynesiana and Peter Heywood's Tahitian Vocabulary and
the Narratives of James Morrison: some notes on their origin and
history
"Anybody who is looking for a glimpse into what extreme adventure
looked like in this distant past would find this book to be
intellectually and emotionally stimulating."—Pennsylvania Literary
Journal
