James a. McQuiston Fsasct

Oak Island Endgame, the fourth and most likely the final book in this series, is the culmination of several years of research into the Oak Island, Nova Scotia, treasure mystery as conducted by author James A. McQuiston, FSA Scot. McQuiston is a Fellow with the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, and is related to the premier Knight Baronet of Nova Scotia. Because of this, he was asked by the Oak Island team to share his theories about this mystery, over a three year period, beginning in 2016.McQuiston has attended four meetings in the Oak Island "war room," made famous on The Curse of Oak Island TV show, and has appeared on that show a few times. He was also given special access to books, maps, and details of the current Oak Island dig, which, when blended with his own Scottish history studies, resulted in a unique theory that ranked #6 out of the 25 theories that made it to the "Top 25 Theories" episode of the show.James McQuiston was also asked to provide a quote to be displayed on the wall of the Oak Island Interpretive Center. For this honor, he chose these words: "Oak Island is not so much a mystery to be solved as it is a chance to experience the unapologetic fascination of youth once again."

Early in 2017, James A. McQuiston wrote a book entitled Oak Island Missing Links, exploring, in a logical, pragmatic fashion, the many mysteries that surround Oak Island, Nova Scotia. McQuiston was then asked to present his theories to the current treasure hunters on Oak Island, in person. He traveled there in early June 2017, having expanded his research dramatically for this special presentation. A few specific questions were asked of him, and so, upon his return home, he delved further into these areas. After presenting a few more answers and theories, McQuiston was encouraged to write a second book. In this case, the book would focus almost entirely on the evacuation of Scots settlers from Port Royal, Nova Scotia, in the year 1632, and why it might be believed that it was they who lost or purposely scuttled a ship in the man-made swamp of Oak Island, and buried other items in the so-called Money Pit. Many tantalizing bits of new information rose to the surface during the writing of Oak Island 1632 that lead to the distinct possibility that this year was, in fact, the very year the Money Pit was created.

Patrick Fitzpatrick was a 79-year-old, deaf war hero who was wrongly accused of a horrible crime and executed. His life story is one of courage, adventure, love for the Great Lakes, and personal tragedy. He has become the inspiration for many anti-death penalty causes, and is one of the main reasons Michigan became the first English-speaking territory to outlaw capital punishment.This book explores the Battle of Lake Erie, during the War of 1812, and its aftermath, along with other anecdotes about Lake Erie.Though written as historical fiction, every major detail has been verified with official military and government documents. Patrick was an unsung American hero, until this book came along.

Oak Island: Missing Links debunks the naysayers who insist on discounting the age old legend of Scottish sailors coming to Oak Island long before Christopher Columbus discovered America, proving that it could be done, easily and often, that there were many early links of Scotsmen to Nova Scotia, and that there were many links of these same Scots families to Knights Templar and Masonic legends.It also provides logical explanations for the Mi'kmaq First Nations' traditions of a man-god named Glooscap, and his brother Malsum, and also for an Italian tradition which includes the name Zichmini, and a land called Estotiland. Rather than the centuries of doubt these four names have cast on a voyage of Sir Henry Sinclair to Nova Scotia, in 1398, these new theories actually strongly support this voyage.Author James. A McQuiston is not only a Fellow with the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland (est. 1780), but his Scottish family holds what is believed to be the premier Baronetcy of Nova Scotia dating back to 1625.These never-before explored theories shed some serious light on the subject of Oak Island, Nova Scotia.
