The Story of Frederick Tudor

tracy v wilson: In the early nineteenth century, he noticed that one thing massachusetts had a lot of in the winter time was ice. He hatched a clever plan that in cold weather, he would harvest that ice for really cheap and then he would sell it all around the world when it was hot. As so often happens with our show, it is not even his idea in the first place. We are going to look at that more complicated story than is often in the one page. The tudor family was part of the boston upper class known as the boston brahmins.
