Stonington Ice

The Story of Sylvia & Vargas, 1874-1947 by Joseph A Vargas, III

A plainspoken history of an enterprise founded and carried on in Stonington, Connecticut, by two interrelated families who emigrated from the Azores. First published in 1976, this new edition preserves the author’s firm grasp of a vanished technology and gives enhanced display to the photographs, some from almost a century ago, of old-time ice harvests.
