Synopsis
The never-before-told true story of an elusive eighteenth-century New Brunswick treasure, featuring dozens of illustrations and historical charts. Tall tales of sailing ships, swashbuckling pirates, and lost riches abound in East Coast folklore. Blackbeard is said to have buried his treasure in Nova Scotia; legend has it that Captain Kidd hid his loot on Oak Island. Now Nine Bags of Gold: The Real-Life Hunt for the Lost Treasure of Acadie adds new intrigue to that lore. In the late 1800s, an elderly man named Simpson travelled from Québec to Moncton, New Brunswick, with a French map from the mid-1700s. The chart, he claimed, pointed to a fortune—nine leather bags of gold—which had been buried in Acadie by mid-eighteenth-century French troops on the run. Simpson partnered with local excavator Sherman Blakeny. Sponsored by Moncton?s wealthy elite, the two launched a massive search. Dozens of labourers plowed seven acres of land in Irishtown down to a depth of five feet. What did they find? It's a question author and skeptic Stéphane LeBlanc-Rainville has spent years researching. Nine Bags of Gold brings this never-before-told saga of eighteenth-century intrigue to light, excavating age-old legends, furtive protagonists, deathbed confessions, mind-bending plot twists, questionable treasure maps, large-scale digs, and tantalizing cliffhangers. Features more than thirty illustrations, numerous infographics, and detailed historical charts.

About the Author
Stéphane LeBlanc-Rainville earned his PhD from McGill in 2000. He enjoyed a second career as a consulting neuroscientist—most recently for industry—after years in academia. Lately, he turned his focus on his Acadian and Maritimer roots. His first investigative historical non-fiction, Nine Bags of Gold, dives into an ambitious late-1800s treasure hunt near his native Moncton. Stéphane currently lives in the Montréal area with his wife, Farah, and his two children, Gabrielle and Olivier.
