On this episode of Our American Stories, Clarence Birdseye was always looking for his next adventure. He hunted coyotes in the American West, collected dangerous ticks in the Rocky Mountains, and eventually took his young family into the frozen wilderness of Labrador.

There, Birdseye noticed how Inuit people could freeze freshly caught fish almost instantly in the bitter cold. Years later, that memory gave him an idea that would change the way Americans eat. Mark Kurlansky, author of Birdseye, shares the remarkable story of the adventurer who turned quick-freezing into an industry.
