    A compelling case for the connection between Freemasonry and the notorious Oak Island treasure, written by a historian and Curse of Oak Island guest expert. If you think you know everything about the secrets of Oak Island, think again. Oak Island: A Masonic Quest makes the strongest and most compelling case ever for the truth behind the treasure at Nova Scotia's Oak Island. It also connects two of the world's most baffling mysteries: the secrets of the arcane and cryptic Freemasons, and the equally enigmatic Oak Island treasure. Through years of extensive research, Scott Clarke -- author, amateur historian, and guest expert on the History Channel's The Curse of Oak Island -- has discovered numerous captivating connections, published here for the first time, that truly show these mysteries to be intertwined, including: Previously unknown connections between Freemasonry and Oak Island dating from before the discovery of the Money Pit in 1795 Masonic and family connections between two of the most famous treasures of the late eighteenth century and Oak Island The strongest and most evidence-based theory yet for what the treasure at Oak Island might consist of A logical, yet sure-to-be-controversial theory that could rewrite Masonic history The discovery of two previously unknown, centuries-old "treasure maps" that both point to treasure in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. With forty images, including maps and illustrations, Oak Island Odyssey: A Masonic Quest offers the freshest and most original take on the mystery yet.

    von Diane Carmel Léger
    17,00 €

    It's 1755, and twelve-year-old Fidèle's life is quiet and pastoral-until a sudden shift in the political situation brings chaos to Acadie. The English are hunting down and deporting all the Acadians, and the only way to escape is to run far away or to live in the wilderness.Fidèle's parents are taken by the English along with their newborn baby. He, his sister, Prémélia, their grandfather, Pétard, and elderly Rosalie decide to brave life in the forest near their burned-down house in the hopes that their family members will return one day. Life in the woods is harsh and unforgiving, and they only survive with the help and knowledge of their Mi'kmaw friends and a mysterious spirit who appears during times of dire need.Spanning two decades of the terrible events of the Deportation and the long struggle to reunite and resettle afterward, The Lookout Tree is an English translation of the beloved French classic, La butte à Pétard, and a testament to the determination of the Acadian people to survive and thrive in their homeland.

    Where there's a storm, there's a story, and over the centuries Atlantic Canada has experienced more than its fair share of weather-related disasters. Atlantic Canada's Greatest Storms chronicles many of the most dramatic and tragic storms that have struck the east coast, from 1745's Grand Armada Tragedy to 2017's Ice Storm.In this accessible narrative, author Dan Soucoup recounts the winter blizzards, floods, tornadoes--and even tsunamis--that have created havoc in Atlantic Canada. From the great hurricanes of the North Atlantic--including the 1775 Independence Hurricane, the Saxby Gale in 1869, and Hurricane Igor in 2010--to the terrifying series of blizzards in 1905 (The Year of the Deep Snow), which left passenger trains stranded for days in the Annapolis Valley, and Newfoundland's 1929 tsunami, which devastated the Burin Peninsula, striking dozens of coastal communities and carrying people and homes out to sea.Features 25 black and white images.
