Description
This film, found in the "America at Work, America at Leisure: Motion Pictures from 1894 to 1915" series on the American Memory Project Web site, features a frozen-over lake on which men are driving teams of horses pulling a device similar to a plow. The second camera position shows that the horses are being driven in a straight line across the ice, with the device chiseling a groove, called canaling, into the ice. After the ice is removed, the ice is stored so it can be used during the summer. The American Memory Project is sponsored by The Library of Congress. Less
