The Brennen Siding Trilogy

Herb Curtis' writing about the folklore surrounding New Brunswick's Miramichi River takes me back to my childhood recollections of Mark Twain's tales of the Mississippi. You'll never know what's around the bend in the river. The characters are brought to life through colorful experiences we can all relate to. Now that I've read the first of the trilogy I am an avid fan. Thank you, Herb Curtis for restoring my childhood wonderment!

I have just finished reading "The Americans Are Coming" & "The Last Tasmanian" by Herb Curtis and these are real great books for anyone from N.B. or anyone who just wanted a bit of humor although I suggest you read all 3 books if you can because they are all equally great although the ending isn't really up to par on the first 2 books as it is a trilogy.

Being From the Miramichi, and live approxiamately about two miles from the authour, Herb Curtis. I can really relate to this book. Everything from the slang words, to the subject matter is based on things that you would probably only hear on the Miramichi. If your looking for a good laugh and a little Miramichi humor, this is definately a must read book! For a little insight to what all the slang words and sayings used, make sure to read "Look What The Cat Drug In", or "Miramichi Dictionary - An Interpretive Guide".
