Summary

Beckles Willson's 'The Great Company' is a captivating novel that delves into the lives of individuals caught in the turmoil of post-war Europe. With vivid descriptions and eloquent prose, Willson paints a vivid picture of the social and political landscape of the time, offering a gripping narrative that keeps readers engaged from beginning to end. The novel's exploration of human nature, relationships, and the consequences of war is both thought-provoking and emotionally resonant, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in historical fiction. Beckles Willson, a British author and journalist, drew upon his own experiences and observations to create 'The Great Company.' His background in journalism provided him with a keen insight into the complexities of human behavior and societal dynamics, which is reflected in the nuanced characters and intricate plot of the novel. Willson's meticulous research and attention to detail further enrich the historical setting of the story, immersing readers in a world fraught with uncertainty and intrigue. I highly recommend 'The Great Company' to readers who enjoy historical fiction with a focus on human relationships and the lasting effects of war. Beckles Willson's masterful storytelling and insightful commentary make this novel a must-read for those interested in a deeper exploration of post-war Europe and the resilience of the human spirit.

    The rise and fall of a California business in an era of rapid technological change—includes historic photos. 
 
The Puritan Ice Companies operated at Santa Barbara, California, from 1922 to 1986, opening the vegetable markets in the Santa Maria and Lompoc Valleys to wide distribution by pioneering the use of refrigerated railcars. Puritan ran the world’s largest poultry plant and, during the World War II homefront era of the 1940s, was pivotal in facilitating Mexican labor in California, expanding vegetable and melon markets at Blythe, and providing ice for General Patton’s Army Desert Training Center near Indio.  
 
The rise and fall of one company parallels stories of domestic ice usage and the impact of ice on the rail business, which declined with the rise of interstate refrigerated trucking. Join Santa Barbara historian David Petry as he examines the history of one unique Central Coast corporation’s impact on the national scene.
