 BROWN SUGAR SYRUP AND JACK PINE SAND
By Dennis Herschbach
Release Date: May 18, 2010
ISBN 13: 9780980078916
Price: $16.95
From the author of The Talking Stick’s 2009 first place fiction winner.
Award winning author Dennis Herschbach brings to life an engaging new story of growing up a country boy in rural Minnesota. In the 1940s and 1950s, when most of the country was absorbed in the post-World War II world of nuclear bombs and fast cars, Herschbach’s family lived without indoor plumbing or electricity. They picked berries in the summer, canned food for the winter, and hunted and fished for their meat. Herschbach’s stories of wandering the north woods with his bow and arrow and watching his parents as they struggle to eke out a life in this beautiful yet harsh environment tell the tale of a way of life that has disappeared but was vital to the development of northern Minnesota. Brown Sugar Syrup and Jack Pine Sand jogs the memories of those who lived that life, and it provides a glimpse of the past for those too young to have been there.

From Friday October 3, 2008 Weekly Report of Politics and Minnesota:
"Bits & Pieces
One of our favorite bloggers, Aaron Brown of Minnesota Brown,
has published his first book, Overburden:Modern Life on the Iron Range. Aaron is a
regular in our Morning Report, and we profiled him a few months ago in The
Weekly Report. He's got a singular and incisive take on Range issues and Overburden should be a fascinating and relevant read for Minnesotans and anyone interested in the societies and economies of rural communities. The book is out already in Iron
Range independent bookstores, but if you can't wait for your local seller to pick it
up, you can preorder from Barnes and Noble. Aaron's also doing a series of appearances to promote the book and speak on the Range as well as media and blogging issues. Check out his site for the
schedule of these appearances."
