Mutiny on the Bounty's John Adams
THIS MOST AMAZING BOOK- Written and researched by Guy Andrews, Summerfield, NC.
FACT: The legendary Mutiny on the Bounty took place on April 28th, 1789 in the South Pacific. Nine of the mutineers eventually settled on Pitcairn Island, about 1350 miles from Tahiti. After surviving the collapse of this small island colony in 1793, once violent refugee John Adams was in the tempest of his own internal mutiny. He had joined Bounty’s crew in England to escape British justice, but after learning to read from fellow mutineer Officer Ned Young, he came into a confronting encounter with the Bible and was radically transformed. He became the kind and respected leader of Pitcairn, so much so that he was allowed to remain on Pitcairn after being visited by the Admiralty in 1814.
QUOTE: Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) “The Bible is not merely a book; it is a Living Being, with an action, a power, which invades everything that opposes its extension, behold! It is upon this table. This book, surpassing all others; I never omit to read it, and every day with some pleasure.”
