| In the 21st Century we may think of ice as something that comes out of the doors of our refrigerator or a nice skating surface in an indoor rink, but, in the 18th and early 19th centuries the ice business produced a very necessary product and employed many people. See: “Ice Harvesting Sampler” DVD, produced by Northeast Historic Film, Black & White, NTSC, 33 minutes - 1994. This “compilation of newsreel and amateur footage of ice harvesting operations in Maine includes ice-house interiors with massive ice blocks being maneuvered at high speed, and horse teams delivering ice to brownstones in Boston.” “America’s Icemen: An Illustrative History of the United States Natural Ice Industry 1665-1925” by Joseph C. Jones Jr., published by Jobeco Books, 1984. “The American Ice Harvests: A Historical Study in Technology, 1800-1918” by Richard O. Cummings, published by the University of Calfornia Press, 1949. |

| This letter was written to Mr. Clark in 1865, while Jacob was at sea, five years before his marriage. The letter says: Philadelphia, Dec 23/65 Mr. Clark Sir What money you have for me from the Schr [Schooner?] please pay it over toward my Taxes. I am loading general cargo for Savannah. I got a fair Freight, but business is very dull & I shall be a long time loading. Coal to Boston is $3.00 & very scarce. There is a great deal of ice in the river. I am afraid it will close before I get out. Res. yours J.W. Carroll |
