"Dynamiting of buildings you say? HA! That's a load of horse-hockey if I've ever heard it., I served in the Great War damnit and I know the sound of artillery fire, and THAT my friend was full blown artillery fire! That was no dynamiting coming down the coastal way....it was literally the hellfire of war!"
-From a 1935 recorded audio interview with farmer Stewart Richardson at his farmstead on the shores of the Manuxet River
