“Curt Brown’s Minnesota, 1918 is an evocative and vivid portrayal of the almost unimaginable series of catastrophes that struck the land of 10,000 lakes in the last year of World War I. A moving, intensely human story.”
James Carl Nelson, author of The Remains of Company D: A Story of the Great War

“With great skill and sensitivity, Curt Brown weaves together the epic stories of the effect on Minnesota of the Great War, the Spanish flu epidemic, and the Cloquet–Moose Lake fires. The year 1918 was a painful one for Minnesotans, bringing suffering for many and death for an astounding number. Although these tragic events took place one hundred years ago, Brown brings them to life with vivid human stories.”
Francis Carroll, author of The Fires of Autumn: The Cloquet–Moose Lake Disaster of 1918

“Mr. Brown has done an excellent job of covering fire, flu epidemic, and world war and ties them all together to show the impact across the state. Because my mother-in-law’s family were fire survivors, I am very familiar with the impact the fire had on her family and the surrounding area. In addition, my father-in-law was injured in Argonne, France, during the war. This book gives me a new perspective into that year.”
Natalie Frohrip, executive director of the Moose Lake Area Historical Society
