"Colin Woodard's talks on the history
of Maine and its people are just as
vibrant, entertaining, and painlessly
informative as is his book, The Lobster
Coast. His lively and knowledgeable
presentations are always compelling,
as is clear from the enthusiastic
responses of the overflow crowds
who turn out every time he gives a
talk."
- Doreen Dun, President
Boothbay Region Historical Society, Me.
|
"Woodard is a very knowledgeable and
well researched speaker [who]
presents information in a fun and
interesting manner without the need of
visual aids. He paints a vivid picture
of what life was like during the Golden
Age of Piracy and brought forth new
theories about the pirates’ motives.
He managed to make the lecture
interesting even to those of us who
believe ourselves to be pirate experts.
I would jump at the chance to have
him speak at The Mariners’ Museum
again."
- Beth Kovach, lecture coordinator,
Mariner's Museum, Newport News, Va.
|
"Woodard’s recent talk held the room
captive with his seemingly endless
knowledge of pirate history. This is
“Blackbeard country” and he made
connections that surprised many in the
audience. His rapid fire delivery style
worked well with the subject and the
audience. "
- Nancy Gray, Director, museum services
Tryon Palace & Gardens, New Bern, NC

"Colin presented a lecture on his book
The Republic of Pirates to a large
museum crowd and held them
spellbound with stories about the ‘real’
pirates of the Caribbean . He adeptly
fielded wide-ranging questions and
offered primary source anecdotes with
humor and acumen. Colin was
captivating!"
- Trish Balderson, education manager
Museums of Colonial Williamsburg,Va.

George's, Grenada. Audience of 30 former and present
