		A successful pioneer in the automobile industry, Howard Coffin rebuilt an abandoned antebellum mansion on Sapelo Island and revitalized the agricultural potential on it, developed St. Simons Island and Sea Island as Georgia's premier coastal tourist destinations, and provided seed money for the mighty pulpwood industry that continues to thrive in the state's Coastal Plain.
		Coffin is known in automotive circles as the Father of Standardization, a result of his initiative in standardizing material and design specifications and in arranging for automobile manufacturers to share their patents.
		Coffin made another major contribution to coastal Georgia's economy by recognizing the area's potential for growing pine trees that could be used as pulpwood.

	King Tut's Coffins
		The exposed outer coffin of Tutankhamun, measuring 2.24 meters long with its head positioned to the west, rested on a low leonine bier that was still intact though certainly suffering from the strain of a ton and a quarter worth of weight it had endured over the prior 3,200 years.
		Howard Carter estimated that up to two bucketfuls of this liquid had been poured over the coffin, filling in the whole space between it and the base of the second coffin and making them solid and causing them to stick firmly together.
		The headdress on the coffin is the nemes, as was that of the second coffin, though here the pleating is in relief rather than indicated by inlays of colored glass.

		Thanks to Howard Coffin, we now have a sense of what the war meant back home to these folks who never heard a shot or fired a gun at an advancing battle line or had their barn and crops burned by enemy troops.

		As a writer Coffin is a first-rate narrative historian, and those who enjoyed his first book, Full Duty: Vermonters in the Civil War, may be disappointed that he doesn't provide more of a narrative in his most recent work.

		Having acquired Sapelo Island in 1912 as a coastal retreat, Coffin recognized the potential for development of Georgia's coastal islands as a tourist destination.
