This special three-book bundle tells the story of the mystery of Oak Island, Nova Scotia, where in 1795 three boys discovered the top of an ancient shaft. Two hundred years of courage, back-breaking effort, ingenuity, and engineering skills have failed to retrieve what is concealed there. Theories of what the treasure could be include Captain Kidd’s bloodstained pirate gold, an army payroll left by the French or British military engineers, priceless ancient manuscripts, the body of an Arif or other religious refugee leader, or the lost treasure of the Templars. Lionel and Patricia Fanthorpe tell the entire story over the centuries and offer their own theories on the truth, while Lee Lamb tells the personal story of the Restalls, who spent six tragic years attempting to solve the mystery on their own. Includes Oak Island Family The Oak Island Mystery Oak Island Obsession

Отрывок из книги
All across Germany, Britain, Canada, and the United States, Bob and Mildred Restall amazed audiences with their death-defying feats on motorcycles inside a steel sphere known as the Globe of Death.
.....
When they neared Oakland, California, where they were to first appear, they were met by a squadron of motorcycle police. They were so late that Pollack Brothers Circus had arranged for a police escort. With sirens blazing, lights flashing, and the roar of heavy-duty motorcycle engines engulfing them, they sped through the city, straight to the circus grounds, making an entrance worthy of their star status.
Mom told me that although she truly hated the harrowing drive to California and the trek between cities, she revelled in circus life. She easily made friends with other performers and enjoyed many good times with them. But it was a different story for Dad. He had no interest in developing friendships, and he soon tired of the laborious grind of setting up the Globe of Death, doing the shows, tearing down, then driving to the next spot. On the carnival show train he could rest as the train wound its way to the next town. With the circus there was no respite. At the end of their contract, they sent the Globe of Death into retirement.
