Why it’s great
What does working as a fur trader in the frozen tundra of Labrador, Canada have to do with revolutionizing how America eats? Everything, if you're Clarence Birdseye. Watching fish and game freeze almost instantly in Arctic temperatures gave him an idea he spent years perfecting: a patented Quick Freeze Machine that launched the entire frozen foods market. This engaging biography follows Birdseye from his Brooklyn childhood to the grocery store aisle he helped create, with a timeline, glossary, and historical photos along the way.
