I've included a link to a local Canadian legend where 30 workers were supposedly killed during railway construction in the 1860s. In this case no evidence has been found to support the legend besides word of mouth re-tellings. Would historians use deductive logic to solve something like this?

Does anyone know where I can get digital copies of The Yarmouth Herald newspaper (Nova Scotia, Canada) from 1863 to 1867?

Hi Ask Historians, I am thinking about starting a sub that attempts to put together a solution to the Oak Island Money Pit using legitimate investigation techniques from science, logical reasoning and other methods. I'm after a few professional Historians that might be interested in helping.

I've heard that the Archaeology departments at some Nova Scotia universities use the Oak Island money pit as an assignment for students. Is someone able to post the accepted academic solution to the legend?
