Summary:
In 1795, a teenager discovered a mysterious circular depression in the ground on
Oak
Island
, in
Nova
Scotia
, Canada, and ignited rumors of buried
treasure
. Early excavators uncovered a clay-lined shaft containing layers of soil interspersed with wooden platforms, but when they reached a depth of ninety feet, water poured into the shaft and made further digging impossible. Since then the mystery of
Oak
Island
's Money Pit has enthralled generations of
treasure
hunters, including a Boston insurance salesman whose obsession ruined him; young Franklin Delano Roosevelt; and film star Errol Flynn. Perplexing discoveries have ignited explorers' imaginations: a flat stone inscribed in code; a flood tunnel draining from a man-made beach; a torn scrap of parchment; stone markers forming a huge cross. Swaths of the
island
were bulldozed looking for answers; excavation attempts have claimed two lives. Theories abound as to what's hidden on
Oak
Island-pirates'
treasure
, Marie Antoinette's lost jewels, the Holy Grail, proof that Sir Francis Bacon was the true author of Shakespeare's plays-yet to this day, the Money Pit remains an enigma. The Curse of
Oak
Island
is a fascinating account of the strange, rich history of the
island
and the intrepid
treasure
hunters who have driven themselves to financial ruin, psychotic breakdowns, and even death in pursuit of answers. And as Michigan brothers Marty and Rick Lagina become the latest to attempt to solve the mystery, as documented on the History Channel's television show The Curse of
Oak
Island
, Sullivan takes readers along to follow their quest firsthand.
