The Oak Island Enigma: A History and Inquiry into the Origin of the Money Pit

"The Oak Island Enigma" is a gripping history of the mystery of

Oak Island and its "Money Pit". It details the early discoveries:

the shaft with its platforms, the drainage tunnels from the ocean

that fill the shaft with sea water, the many attempts to find

what the construction hides and protects.



It is a true tale of a visit to Oak Island in the early 1950s,

recounting the history of efforts to discover the treasure

supposedly buried there, "The Oak Island Enigma" was the first

published book to contend that the manuscripts of William

Shakespeare's works -- actually written by Francis Bacon -- are

buried beneath Oak Island.
