“Local history is the foundation upon which regional, state, and national history is built. Larry Coffin has crafted an important piece of that founda- tion, bringing to life the history of Bradford, Vermont and the surrounding area for all to enjoy. Larry’s well-written essays highlight aspects of our shared past and link them to the present.”
— Paul A. Carnahan, Librarian, Vermont Historical Society

“Larry Coffin’s monthly column In Times Past is one of the most valuable and popular features in the Journal Opinion. He provides a historical per- spective that aids the contemporary reader in understanding the people, places and events that shaped the Upper Connecticut River Valley commu- nities we live in today. Coffin’s survey of the past draws parallels to current discourse.”
— Alex Nuti-de Biasi, Managing Editor of the Journal Opinion

“Though the focus of Larry Coffin’s writings is local history, his historical interest and knowledge are broad enough to make him center that local his- tory in a wider context, what was going on at the same time in nearby towns, in Vermont and New Hampshire, and in the country. And he combines that broader background with a wealth of interesting detail.”
— Charles Latham, President, Thetford Historical Society

“Exploring topics as diverse as inventors, strawberry growers, the arrival of the railroad, golf courses, epidemics, town meetings and Rogers’ Rangers, Coffin deftly and engagingly reminds us that all history is local and that lo- cal history at its best—as he presents it here—reflects and illuminates the extraordinary, great, and important issues and events that command our attention as well as the ordinary patterns of life that continue to shape the world we occupy today.”
