Sir Philip Sidney's Arcadia and the Oak Island Narrative
A literary connection is established between Sir Philip Sidney’s book Arcadia and the Oak Island mystery. King Charles I quoted this book before his execution, and the text contains a story nearly identical to the discovery of the Money Pit, involving three men and an engraved stone. The book was later amended by William Alexander, the first Earl of Stirling and Baron of Nova Scotia, suggesting his family's involvement in the legend's creation.
