PADDY'S LAMENT: IRELAND 1846 - 1847 PRELUDE TO HATRED
By Thomas Gallagher
Synopsis
Ireland in the mid-1800s was primarily a population of peasants, forced to live on a single, moderately nutritious crop: potatoes. Suddenly, in 1846, an unknown and uncontrollable disease turned the potato crop to inedible slime, and all Ireland was threatened.
