#ARichLife
#pumpkin #saints #fireside #bounty

Day 6- pumpkin on my work desk
Day 8- book I have read on Saints
Day 9- FDR started his radio “ fireside chats” in 1933
Day 10- my husband has been cooking a bounty of meals from his Burmese cookbook. He visited there in 1980s & could not have any evidence on him that stated or inferred he was a journalist or he would have been arrested.

Eggs Well done 👍🏼 3d

#ARichLife Bounty. This soundtrack for the movie The Bounty (1984) by Vangelis is very eerie. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Mehso-so

In British maritime history of the late 18th century, few events captured the public's imagination more than the Mutiny on the Bounty. There have been at least two films made & these positioned Fletcher Christian as standing up against a cruel Captain (actually Lieutenant on this voyage). This book, based on records & testimonies from the court martials etc, argues that far from being cruel, (Continued)

OutsmartYourShelf William Bligh tried to avoid discipline by the usual method of flogging as much as possible which throws doubt on Christian's motives for the mutiny. Plus almost half the crew wanted to leave with the Lieutenant, something unlikely if he was as capricious as reported afterwards, mostly by people who had a grudge against Bligh it must be said.

Despite the best efforts of the author, the narrative unfortunately became a little dry in places.

OutsmartYourShelf My takeaway from this book is that although Bligh had his faults, I tend to think that perhaps his reputation has been unfairly traduced over the years. Overall - good account of the story but can become overly bogged down in the details & academically dry in places. 2.5⭐

Andrew65 An interesting period of history with conflicting views. It would be interesting to know the real story, I do worry about how much might possibly have been covered up or papered over by the trial. 3y

OutsmartYourShelf @Andrew65 So do I, especially as it was conveniently held whilst Bligh was out of the country & unable to testify in person. I‘m not saying he is blameless but it seems strange to not have one of the main people involved actually at the trial. 3y
Andrew65 @OutsmartYourShelf They definitely wanted this to progress quickly and punish people so that mutinies didn‘t spread to other ships. The ‘system‘ couldn‘t allow a message to spread and people to go unpunished in the extreme, but it would be good to know the actual truth. Like most things it most probably has some truth on both sides. 3y
Andrew65 Certainly a book I‘d be interested to read and your review does a good job of whetting the appetite. 3y
