Red
Terror recounts the history and true story of the fires that shook a
rural New Brunswick community?drawn from newspaper reports, municipal records,
and firsthand memory of survivors. It is an historical event that was prominent
in the history of New Brunswick and that area. The book has been approved by
the important leaders of the area.
The fires
were only the beginning of a mystery. Beyond the crisis lies the deeper story
of Lutes Mountain itself and the mystery of who was setting them and why?the
story also accounts its early settlement life, wars and worship, storms and
celebrations, and the generations who shaped its character that impacts the
current population.
A clever
blending of documented history with lived memory, Gerry Gillcash tells not only
the story of a season of terror, but the enduring story of a community whose
strength proved greater than the flames.
