Overview

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.
