Clarkson N. Potter
New York,
ISBN: 1551091224.

This book includes many fascinating details, such as the Legend of Glooscap, passed down by the Micmac Indians about a white man who sailed across the sea. These days, the Glooscap Trail is a big local tourist attraction.
No, the author (now deceased) is not Fred Pohl the science fiction writer (I asked the sf author to be sure) —jsq.

The Sword and the Grail: Of the Grail and the Templars and a True Discovery of America: 1993, Andrew Sinclair.
This book fills in a lot of the gaps in the Pohl book, and adds some new material, such as the 13th century Venetian cannon that was found in Nova Scotia.
It is not the same as the book as The Sword and the Grail by Constance B. Hieatt, which appears to be about the King Arthur myths. —jsq

The book in which William Crooker claims to have found Prince Henry Sinclair's Castle in Nova Scotia.

``William Crooker is a professional engineer whose fascination with Nova Scotia's hidden treasures has made him the foremost expert on the Oak Island Money Pit which has puzzled people for centuries. His earlier book was called Oak Island Gold. It is surmised that Prince Henry's Templar associates may have had a hand in the construction of the ingenious devices which safeguarded the treasure which is supposed to be hidden in the money pit — devices which have defiled treasure hunters for decades. —Niven Sinclair

A Symposium, conducted by different speakers who focused upon many aspects of Prince Henry Sinclair, was held at Lincoln, NH and at Westford, MA. Here is Pete Cummings' description of it:
``This book has captured the depth and spirit of the many topics of the recent Symposium at the Clan Gathering in Lincoln, NH, and Westford, MA. The contents reveals a broad picture of Prince Henry Sinclair, his family, his Templar connections, his voyage, his home, and his monuments in Westford, Newport, and Rosslyn. We have also included the fantastic presentation of Elaine Fowler about how we can teach our children the Prince Henry story.

``Presentations were made by eight speakers, including Michael Kaulback, Suzanne Carlson, Derek Gunn, Bob Green, Gordon Flaws, Beth Gay, and Pete Cummings. Most of these are reflected in this book.''
