In this tale of passionate personalities and remarkable perisistence, the late scholars Seaburg and Paterson trace the career of Frederic Tudor of Boston, who first experimented with, and finally perfected, the shipment of ice from New England to southern climes. Encompassing the world of American maritime expansion and enterprise from the American Revolution to the Civil War, "The Ice King" follows Tudor and other strong willed members of his family through economic and personal successes and many failures on the way to "ineveitable and unaviodable" success.

This review is from: The Ice King: Frederic Tudor and His Circle (Maritime) (Paperback)
The Ice King is a delightful read for anyone interested in an important, but lost part of American history. The story of the ups and downs of the ice business are in many ways similar to other American industries, but there are no physical remnants to be seen in American cities. The book is a good starting point for historical research on a middle or high school level.
