Elli Morris and Cooling the South: The Block Ice Era 1875 - 1975

Tue Jul 8 6:30 pm

Cooling the South introduces readers to an era that helped shape the American South, yet that many remain unaware of. The story is fresh, the modern and historic photos are engaging, and the combination of historical facts and personal recollections is fascinating. Cooling the South is, quite literally, a very cool piece of work.
