The front jacket panel adds: "The Oak Island Mystery fulfills all that the most romantic seeker of buried treasure has ever dreamed."
"For over 170 years men have staked their lives and fortunes on the recovery of hidden treasure which is believed to exist on a small island on Mahone Bay, off the coast of Nova Scotia. As recently as 1965 four persons were killed during their search for the most elusive treasure in the world. At the time of publication, Oak Island is sealed off from visitors while another group is continuing the investigation.
This is a revised and thoroughly updated second edition of R.V. Harris' popular book concerning efforts to recover the treasure."
