Meer over het boek

Set against the historical backdrop of Old Fort Niagara, the narrative unfolds around Captain Pierre Pouchot's surrender during the 1759 siege and the mystery of a buried French military chest. The story introduces Jeremiah Moore, a Loyalist Quaker and ancestor of the author, who arrives in British Niagara in 1789 with a treasure map. The legend suggests that he received permission from the British commander to excavate the site, intertwining themes of adventure, loss, and the quest for hidden riches in a pivotal location of North American history.
