Born in Boscawen, New Hampshire, Coffin's literary journey commenced with his reporting for the Boston Journal, covering significant historical events with vivid detail and profound insight. His chronicles were not confined to mere reportage but were imbued with the spirit of the times, offering posterity an intimate glimpse into the fabric of 19th-century American life. Coffin's exceptional grasp over narrative storytelling is quintessentially showcased in his seminal work 'My Days and Nights on the Battle-Field' (1865), a book that conveyed the horrors and heroics of war with an immediacy that brought the battlefields to the doorstep of his readers.
