About this item

We hope you enjoy reading the family stories as much as we enjoyed listening to them. Our grandfather, Bill, grew-up on Oak Island. His grandfather George told him many stories that he had heard from his grandfather, Daniel McGinnis. While compiling these family stories, I began dreaming about what life was like for these early settlers. In the morning I would wake up to a new page having been written for the "Oak Island Life." The First Decade is available now on Amazon. A new perspective of the Oak Island saga. Imagine the hardships of the early settlers as they were digging during the final fruitless days of autumn, when the blustering wind chased after them through the leafless branches of the Oak trees. Think of them sitting in their cabins, empty-handed for another cold and long winter. What came across in all of the stories in this book, is a connection to something deeper. The foundation is a strong belief that Oak Island is something worth the investment of valuable time. This has been an obsession with many people over the past 220 years. Oak Island has a strong magnetic hold on some people, and it is very interesting the variety of people that it grabs ahold of. If you experience an insatiable appetite for any information about Oak Island, you may want to count yourself as one of the many held firmly in its grip. Enjoy the journey, my fellow believers.
