The Mystery of the Oak Island Treasure
Two Hundred Years of Hope and Despair
by Mark Reynolds
This short book tells the story of Oak Island, Nova Scotia’s well-known treasure island where the treasure has proven elusive, maybe even imaginary.
In the summer of 1795 a teenager exploring a tiny island in Nova Scotia’s Mahone Bay stumbled across a curious dip in the ground. Little did they know that their discovery was about to set off one of the most famous treasure hunts in history.
The legends have only grown. They encompass a booby trapped money pit, ominous curses, mysterious artefacts, deadly secrets and more. This book is a great introduction to a compelling, ongoing mystery.
