Information about Charles Nordhoff
This article is about the novelist. For the non-fiction author, see Charles Nordhoff (1830-1901).
Charles Bernard Nordhoff (1887 - 1947) was an English-born American novelist and traveler. He often collaborated with James Norman Hall.
He was the author with Hall of the Bounty trilogy, The Mutiny on the Bounty, Men Against the Sea and Pitcairn's Island, among others. The Nordhoff-Hall book was the source for the 1935 movie of the same name as well as two later versions. Subsequent authors have published a different, well-researched view of the actual events of the mutiny, in which the mutiny results not from maltreatment by Captain Bligh but from the lure of South Pacific life for the ship's crew.
Charles Nordhoff's father was Walter Nordhoff, author of The Journey of the Flame penned under the name "Antonio de Fierro Blanco".
Charles Bernard Nordhoff's grandfather was Charles Nordhoff, also an author.
Nordhoff is the namesake of a street in the San Fernando Valley. SS Charles Nordhoff was a WW II Liberty ship built in Portland, OR in 1943, named for this author.
Charles Nordhoff (1830-1901) was an American journalist, descriptive and miscellaneous writer. He was born in Erwitte, Germany (Prussia) in 1830, and emigrated to the USA in 1845.
