EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the crisp winter air of Coos County, New Hampshire in 1936, a group of local residents gathered at the Ottaqueechee River to participate in the age-old tradition of cutting ice. The Ottaqueechee River, known for its crystal-clear waters, provided an ideal location for harvesting ice during the cold winter months. The men in this photograph are seen carefully chiseling large blocks of ice from the river, using long, heavy tools. Their faces are etched with determination and focus, as they work efficiently to fill their wagon with as many blocks as possible before the sun begins to warm the river. The women and children in the background watch on, bundled up against the cold, adding a sense of community and camaraderie to the scene. Ice harvesting was an essential activity during the winter months in rural New Hampshire communities, as it was used to preserve food and provide cooling during the hot summer months. The ice was typically cut in large blocks and stored in insulated ice houses, where it would remain frozen until it was needed. This photograph captures a moment in time, showcasing a simple yet important aspect of rural life in America during the first half of the 20th century. The image is a testament to the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the people who lived in these communities, as they worked together to ensure they had the necessary supplies to sustain them throughout the year.
