The article [[Mutiny on the Bounty (fiction)]] states that this Peter Heywood was the inspiration for Roger yam, the "I" in the novel Mutiny on the Bounty. Beside the fact that we should mention that in the article, I have a question: the novel makes Byam a linguist who compiles a Tahitian-English dictionary. Did Heywood do that?

Yes, he did. In any case, I hope to expand on this article a bit once I get the hang of Wikipedia. Viviena 06:42, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Guilty?

Was Heywood actually guilty of mutiny and then pardoned, or was he, as Byam in the book, actually uninvalved. The aticle doesn't really make it clear. --YankeeDoodle14 03:38, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
