Book Description
More than two centuries ago, compelling evidence of buried treasure was found on Nova Scotia's Oak Island. Since then, extensive engineering works have been discovered and mysterious objects unearthed in and around the island's "Money Pit." The ongoing search has been featured on a long-running popular television series, but to this day, the island guards its secrets. In this book, historian John Bell presents all the competing theories — about who buried treasure on the island and how the complex structures in the Money Pit that have kept treasure hunters at bay were created. Is the island the former settlement of pre-Columbian Vikings? The location of a lost pirate treasure or royal treasures from England? The hiding spot for rogue captains of Spanish treasure ships? John Bell presents each theory in turn. Bell also provides a detailed illustration of the mysterious work that was done on the island prior to the discovery of the Money Pit in 1795. The illustration shows each element of the Pit's design as it was first built — including elaborate flood tunnels, a cave-in shaft, and more. This book offers a fascinating opportunity to explore many centuries of world history from the perspective of one of the greatest mysteries of all time. The extensive visuals showcase what treasures could have been hidden, and illustrate the lives of the adventurers, renegades, pirates, politicians, and paranormal entities that might be responsible for this puzzle.

Book Description
We hope you enjoy reading the family stories as much as we enjoyed listening to them. Our grandfather, Bill, grew-up on Oak Island. His grandfather George told him many stories that he had heard from his grandfather, Daniel McGinnis. While compiling these family stories, I began dreaming about what life was like for these early settlers. In the morning I would wake up to a new page having been written for the "Oak Island Life." The First Decade is available now on Amazon. A new perspective of the Oak Island saga. Imagine the hardships of the early settlers as they were digging during the final fruitless days of autumn, when the blustering wind chased after them through the leafless branches of the Oak trees. Think of them sitting in their cabins, empty-handed for another cold and long winter. What came across in all of the stories in this book, is a connection to something deeper. The foundation is a strong belief that Oak Island is something worth the investment of valuable time. This has been an obsession with many people over the past 220 years. Oak Island has a strong magnetic hold on some people, and it is very interesting the variety of people that it grabs ahold of. If you experience an insatiable appetite for any information about Oak Island, you may want to count yourself as one of the many held firmly in its grip. Enjoy the journey, my fellow believers.
