HILF: History I'd Like to F**k

HILF 56 - Mutiny on the Bounty, Part 2 with Scott Edwin Williams

Episode Summary

It's the conclusion of the high-seas adventure tale, The Mutiny of the Bounty. You've already followed sad-sack Captain Bligh in his incredible open-ocean journey back to Europe. Now, rejoin the mutineers and learn who survives, who is brought to justice, and who sails off into paradise.

Episode Notes

Welcome back aboard the ill-fated Bounty with Dawn and guest, Scott Edwin Williams, school-teacher and author of the fantastic book series, LIGHTBULB MOMENTS IN HUMAN HISTORY.  

Part one left the mutineers singing and dancing as they pushed Captain Bligh into the horizon. Rejoin them as they go in search of a new future among hostile territory, and while be hunted by an angry king.
