===Roots=== As in other regions of the [[Maritimes]], Miramichi culture is firmly grounded in the [[Mi'kmaq people|Mi'kmaq]], [[Acadian]], [[English people|English]], [[Scottish people|Scottish]], and [[Irish people|Irish]] traditions of the region's founding population, particularly in the fishing, sailing and lumbering industries. Every bend in the rivers, from [[Push and Be Damned Rapids]] to the Turnip Patch has a distinctive name. These roots and the lives of their ancestors provided inspiration for the novels of local author [[David Adams Richards]], the tales and folklore of [[Herb Curtis]], and the fiction and non-fiction books of Chatham writer [[Raymond Fraser]]. Local young adult author [[Valerie Sherrard]]'s first historical novel, ''Three Million Acres of Flame'', deals with the 1825 [[Miramichi Fire]], one of the largest recorded land fires in North American history.
