Book Description
In his sixth book on the Oak Island, Nova Scotia, mystery, James McQuiston has discovered some remarkable links of people associated with the arrival of the ship Mayflower, in 1620, to some of the more famous and recognizable names of those who settled or hunted for treasure on Oak Island. Nova Scotia was founded expressly to protect the Plymouth Colony and the colonies shared many of the same families, and to some degree, the same early history.The fact that Mayflower related families connect to Oak Island strongly supports McQuiston's theory that Sir William Alexander, a patentee of the Plymouth Colony, and the founder of Nova Scotia, had something significant to do with the beginning of the Oak Island mystery. This theory has ranked as #6 out of the top 25 with the current searcher for treasure on Oak Island.The family connections found by McQuiston are detailed and very significant in understanding this 225-year-old treasure hunt on Oak Island, as well as the history of the Mayflower descendants, and others who settled in the general area of Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Book Description
"Vivid and remarkably fresh...Philbrick has recast the Pilgrims for the ages."--The New York Times Book Review Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in History New York Times Book Review Top Ten books of the Year With a new preface marking the 400th anniversary of the landing of the Mayflower. How did America begin? That simple question launches the acclaimed author of In the Hurricane's Eye and Valiant Ambition on an extraordinary journey to understand the truth behind our most sacred national myth: the voyage of the Mayflower and the settlement of Plymouth Colony. As Philbrick reveals in this electrifying history of the Pilgrims, the story of Plymouth Colony was a fifty-five year epic that began in peril and ended in war. New England erupted into a bloody conflict that nearly wiped out the English colonists and natives alike. These events shaped the existing communites and the country that would grow from them.

Book Description
It started on a summer afternoon in 1795 when a young man named Daniel McGinnis found what appeared to be an old site on an island off the Acadian coast, a coastline fabled for the skullduggery of pirates. The notorious Captain Kidd was rumored to have left part of his treasure somewhere along here, and as McGinnis and two friends started to dig, they found what turned out to be an elaborately engineered shaft constructed of oak logs, nonindigenous coconut mats, and landfill that came to be known as the Money Pit. Ever since that summer day in 1795, the possibility of what might be hidden in the depths of a small island off the south coast of Nova Scotia, Canada, has made it the site of the world's longest, most expensive, and most perplexing treasure hunt. Author D'Arcy O'Connor recounts the fascinating stories and amazing discoveries of past and current treasure seekers who have sought Oak Island's fabled treasure for over two hundred years. It has baffled scientists and madmen, scholars and idiots, millionaires and get-rich-quick schemers, psychics, engineers, charlatans, and even a former president of the United States. The island has consumed the fortunes-and in some cases, the lives-of those who have obsessively set out to unlock its secret. Despite all their efforts, the mystery remains unsolved, and not a single dime of treasure has ever been recovered. The present-day search is an archaeological dig exceeding anything ever done anywhere for similar purposes, and it may well result in the discovery of one of the world's richest and most historically significant treasures. But this is also the story of individuals who have dedicated years of their lives to discover what was buried long ago beneath this strange island. They are driven by a lust for gold, by archaeological curiosity, and by their determination to outwit the engineer who was responsible for the Oak Island enigma.

Book Description
This is the author's third book on the Oak Island, Nova Scotia mystery, and it may be a mystery no more. James A. McQuiston, a fellow with the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, has poured over reams of ancient books and papers to uncover a stolen treasure from Scotland, and how that treasure just might have been buried on Oak Island until it could be used to finance a new kingdom called Nova Scotia. Due to several circumstances, that day never came. McQuiston presented his theories to the current searchers on Oak Island and was very well received. He even appeared on the "Curse of Oak Island" TV show. This is one book you must read if you have any interest in this 223-year-old mystery.
