*** James R. Galloway

James R. Galloway created and maintained the Pitcairn, Early History website at www.pitcairn.fatefulvoyage.com until the spring of 2016 when it went dark.

A list of Galloway's transcriptions in book form will be found at Amazon.com.

His transcriptions relating to the mutiny on the Bounty were:

Court-Martial of the Bounty Mutineers,
James Morrison's Journal - Boatswain's Mate of the Bounty,
The Heywood Letters, William Bligh's Bounty Logbook, and
The Bounty Mutiny Courts-Martial: William Bligh, The Carpenter, Edward Edwards, The Mutineers.

He published three books related to the Lincoln assassination:

Lincoln Assassination Commission Proceedings,
Trial of John H. Surratt
The Trial of Andrew Johnson.

This reissue of Galloway's "Fateful Voyage" website from the WayBackMachine is offered as a tribute to his heroic work and to share with others his considerable research and scholarship.
