Publisher's Synopsis
Knights of Malta in Nova Scotia?
After more than eight years of researching the Oak Island, Nova Scotia mystery, author James A. McQuiston, FSAScot, with the help of fellow researchers Dr. John Hamels, PhD and Art Gennis, an avid Nova Scotia photographer/hiker, finally happened upon evidence not only of Knights of Malta in Nova Scotia during the first half of the 17th century, but also of the very major role they played in the development of that province.
This book tells the tale of these knights, and places at least one of their top leaders in the waters surrounding Oak Island before any history of that area was being recorded.
This book also tells the story of how all this information was discovered in 2023 and 2024 through review of several primary source documents and the accidental discovery of a place originally named Port Maltois.
This era of history was full of intrigue and exploration, and the Knights of Malta were at the forefront of this effort in Nova Scotia. There is not another book like this!
