James Norman Hall
James Norman Hall (1887–1951) was an American writer best known for his adventure novels. He co-authored the "Bounty Trilogy" with Charles Nordhoff, which includes the famous books "Mutiny on the Bounty," "Men Against the Sea," and "Pitcairn's Island."

His writings often reflect themes of exploration, heroism, and the human spirit in challenging circumstances.
