Speaker: Robert Allison, PhD, Professor, History, Language, and Global Culture, Suffolk University
Join the NC Museum of History as we kick off the new year and a new season of History and Highballs, with a deep dive into the origins of ice for personal use here in America. Dr. Robert Allison will take us on a journey back in time to the 19th century to meet Frederic Tudor, Boston’s ice king, as well as Dr. John Gorrie from Florida, who is considered the father of the southern ice industry and one of the inventors of air conditioning!
Allison holds a BA, MA, and PhD from Harvard University and is a professor of history at Suffolk University. His books include The Boston Tea Party (2007), The Boston Massacre (2006), Stephen Decatur: American Naval Hero (2005), A Short History of Boston (2004), and The American Revolution: A Very Short Introduction (2015). He also has created two courses for The Great Courses: “Before 1776: Life in Colonial America” and “The Age of Benjamin Franklin.” Allison chairs Revolution 250, a consortium of Massachusetts organizations commemorating the Revolution’s semiquincentennial, and is president of the Colonial Society of Massachusetts.
