Subject: Irish Potato Famine Commemoration

Greetings!

I would like to report the availability of the new potato
famine Web Pages-full of exciting information concerning
the Irish potato famine (1845) and the potato in general.

The address is:

http://www.infi.net/~cksmith/famine/PotatCom.html

The commemoration of the Great famine is entitled:

Worldwide Potato Abstention
It will take place on 9/9/95.

We are totally non profit-we will not take in money.

The commemoration seeks assistance from those willing to
sponsor and create programs and events and projects of all kinds.

We shall maintain a listing of projects and events and
produce a directory and distribute it for publicity.

The commemoration is open to all big and small and to all
working with the potato as it relates to the famine.

We will list all projects/events that:

1.Have to do with any aspect of the famine (Ireland) 1845 or the
potato (p-infestans fungus-new research etc...)

2.Where possible potatoes should be collected for the hungry

3.Event should take place on or near 9/9/95

4.We need information for the directory by august 15.

I would also like to ask list subscribers If they have any
information they would like to pass on to us for inclusion
on the web pages which may be of interest. We have a potato
trivia page with a broad range of subjects-any interesting
potato stories?-facts?-applications? We also have a science
and crops page for information about the fungus, and I would
be glad to have any short discussions of new developments which
you might have access to.

You may contact me via this list or by e. mail at:

cb0005@epfl2.epflbalto.org

I hope that subscribers to this will take advantage
of the commemoration to reach the public with the many
issues relating to the famine, crop protection or knowledge
of potato crop issues with which you work. Project and events
may be large or small. Although the commemoration is an
abstinence from potatos for a day it is not a boycott!-we ask
that those taking part donate an equal or greater quantity
of potatoes for the hungry. We hope by going without the
potato for one day children especially will come to appreciate
the role it plays in their lives and in tern realize the
suffering experienced in the famine.

Thanks for your time and I look forward to your interest and
contributions!

Conrad Jay Bladey Director

NOTE: I am also interested in other listservs which concern
the potato or famines please send me their addresses and
subscription information-also web pages or newsgroups.Thanks!

Potato Famine Quotations

Just thought you potato people would appreciate these!

The cultural dimension of the famine is interest-the human
cultural side that is-any modeling done in regard to that?
-making varietys which are not prefered-preferable?-either by
planting or by post harvest treatment-processing?
It seems that cultural preferences for taste and texture combined
with some science to instal the lumper as mono-crop and pave
the way to the famine.

Where can one obtain older potato varieites-the lumper for example-
or apple?What about pictures of these varieties?
visit the famine pages:

Http://www.infi.net/~cksmith/famine/PotatCom.html

We have a science page for you to use to inform the public of any
special project or research you might be doing relating to crop
protection or modeling relevant to the famine-you may send a short
entry to me at: cb0005@epfl2.epflbalto.org

I will try to get it onto the pages and will distribute it to all
interested in the commemoration. I welcome you to think up an
event to educate-feed the hungry and commemorate the famine. We will
put a listing for any event into our directory if received by August 15.

The Famine in a Nutshell-Famous Quotations

I scoop at the earth, and sense famine,a first/Sourness in the clay. The roots
tear softly. Thomas Kinsella,Ritual of Departure
***********************************

No vegetable...ever effected the same amount of influences upon the
physical,moral,social and political condition of a country,as the potato
exercised over Ireland-Tables of Death,1851

In a very short time there was nothing but stillness, a mournful silence in the
villages in the cottages grim poverty and emaciated faces...The tinkers...fled
to the cities, the musicians...disappeared an...never returned. Many of the
residents too made their escape at once, finding employment or early graves
elsewhere...There were no more friendly meetings at the neighbors houses in the
afternoons, no gatherings on the hillsides on Sundays, no song no merry laugh of
the maidens. Not only were the human beings silent and lonely,but the brute
creation also, for not even the bark of a dog, or the crowing of a cock was to
be heard...-Hugh Dorian,Donegal 60 Years Ago.

Have we not seen,at pleasures lordly call,
The smiling long frequented village fall?
While,scourgd by famine from the smiling land
The mournful peasant leads his humble band;
And while he sinks, without one arm to save,
The country blooms-a garden and a grave....

Ill fares the land to hastning ills a prey,
Where wealth accumulates, and men decay...
-Oliver Goldsmith,The Deserted Village

Irish misery forms a type by itself, of which neither the model nor the
imitation can be found anywhere else. In all countries...paupers may be
discovered,but an entire nation of paupers is what never was seen until it was
shown in Ireland. To explain the social condition of such a country, it would
be only necessary to recount its miseries and its sufferings;the history of the
poor is the history of Ireland-Gustave de Beaumont,Ireland:Social,Political
and Religious

On the roadside there were the humble traces of two or three cabins, whose
little hearths had been extinguished.and whose walls were leveled to the earth.
The black fungus, the burdock,the nettle, and all those offensive weeds that
follow in the train of oppression and ruin were here; and as the dreary wind
stirred them into sluggish motion and piped its melancholy wail through these
desolate mounds, I could not help asking myself, if those who do these things
ever think that there is a a reckoning in after life where power, insolence and
wealth missapplied,and rapacity, and persecution, and revenge, and sensuality
and gluttony will be placed pace to face with those humble beings on whose
rights and privileges of simple existence they have trampled with such a selfish
and entertaining tread.-William Carleton,The Black Prophet

Large numbers had some variety of fever along with dysentery, and often scurvy
or famine dropsy as well, and so did not die of one disease but from a a
combination of causes...-Sir William MacArthur,MD,The Great Famine

The moment the very name of Ireland is mentioned, the English seem to bid adieu
to common feeling, common prudence and common sense, and to act with the
barbarity of tyrants and the fatuity of idiots-Sydney Smith

...If any class deserves to be protected and assisted by the government, it is
that class who are banished from their native land in search of the bare means
of subsistence...The law is bound, at least on the English side....to put an end
to that system by which a firm of traders in emigrants purchase of the owners
the wholetween decks of a ship, and send on board as many wretched people as
they can get hold of on any terms they can get, without the smallest reference
to the convenience of the steerage...or anything but their own immediate
profit...-Charles Dickens, American Notes

...Historians and politicians will some day sift and weigh the conflicting
narrations and documents in this lamentable year, and pronounce with or without
affection, how much is due to the inclemency of heaven, and how much to the
cruelty, heartlessness or improvidence of man. The boasted institutions and
spirit of the empire are on trial. They are weighed in the balance.-The
Times/The Ocean Plague,Robert Whyte

A million a decade!- of human wrecks,/Corpses lying in fever sheds-/Corpses

*******************************
For forty-six years the people of Ireland have been feeding those of England
with the choicest produce of their agriculture and pasture;and while they thus
exported their wheat and their beef in profesion, their own food became
gradually deteriorated in each successive year, until the mass of the peasantry
was exclusively thrown on the potato-John MacHale,Letter to Lord John
Russell,1846.
******************************
Heress a nice bit of advice/I got from an old fishmonger:/ When food is scarce
and you the hearse/ You,ll know you died of hunger.-Anon. The Waxies Dargle

O half-potato on my plate
It is too soon to celebrate
the centenary of 48
Or even 47
Youre boasted to the center too,
and wet, in soapy soil you grew,
But I am thankful still to you
For hints of history given.-Patrick Kavanagh

The varieties usually planted here are the English reds, the apple and a few
white eyes for early use; the first are ill-tasted, often wet, or a livid red
without, and having a reddish circle within; they are cultivated because they
produce good crops with little manure, and sometimes in fallow ground without
any; they are rather early, and remarkable for producing no apples, though they
blossom, they succeeded the Turks and high-cauled caps, which grow well in poor
ground, and are still continued in some places: the apple potatoes were first
introduced and planted in this counry between forty and fifty years ago, by the
late Sir William Fownes; from whence they became general ,an are invaluable to
the poor, as they will keep longer than any other, by which means they will have
potatoes all the year round; and they succeed better for being planted late,
that is, in the latter end of May and even in the first week of June; the great
apple is a variety that some farmers possess. Barbours wonders are large, dry
and early and fit for cattle;they are planted in many places; their disposition
lately to the curl has been noticed:Wicklow banners have the good qualities of
the last sort, and have been raised by several persons the black potatoe is not
know much here...a kind called coppers has been tried, and are said to grow too
near the surface in a dry season;pink-eyes are long,dry,and early;many other
varieties are sown one of the best is the flat Spanish...-Dublin Society,Survey
of County Kilkenny,1801-2

Bishop Brinkley of Cloyne predicted the loss of the potato and calculated
mathematically the extent of ruin which was likely to follow-an exercise he told
a friend,which kept him awake all night! p.40(pre-1845)

The most strenuous efforts which human sagacity,ingenuity and foresight could at
the time devise were put into reqauistion...The various social changes forced
into action at that period (were) the means most fitted ultimately to ameliorate
the social condition of the inhabitants.-Sir William Wilde

My grandmother was born in a field in the bad times, Briget Barry from Inagh.
They were evicted and I suppose the poor mother was frightened ,and she had the
baby at the corner of a wall in the field. I often heard them saying that. -83
year old Clareman,1992

Famine.,CormacOGra/da,Manchester University Press,N.Y.,1993
************************************

Oh,father dear,the day will come when
vengeance loud will call,
And Erins sons will rally round and battle one and all
Ill be the man to lead the van beneath our flag of green
And loud and high will raise the cry,
revenge for Skibbereen!-Folksong-Skibbereen

***************************************
Time brought retribution. By the outbreak of the second world war, Ireland was
independent, and she would not fight on Englands side...Liberty and England did
not appear to the Irish to be synonymous,and Eire remained neutral.....There was
also a more direct payment. Along the west coast of Ireland, in Mayo
especially,on remote Clare Island, and in the dunes above the Six Mile Strand
are a number of graves of petty officers and able seamen of the British Navy and
Merchant service, representatives of many hundreds who were drowned off the
coast of Ireland, because the Irish harbours were not open to British ships.From
these innocents, in all probability ignorant of the past, who had never heard of
failures of the potato, evictions,fever, and starvation, was exacted part of the
price for the famine-Cecil Woodham-Smith,The Great Hunger,Harper and
Row,N.Y.p.413.

Hugh:Yes, it is a rich language,Lieutenant, fuill of the mythologies of fantasy

Folklore of the Famine

The Famine has been etched deeply into the Irish collective
consciousness. Still today these stories and others are alive
in the Irish Culture. Are there folk tales preserved in your
family which you would like to share? If so send them to
us or perhaps, you might like to organize an oral history
project to collect such stories for the Commemoration on
September 9. We welcome your contributions and participation.

>From Lady Augusta Gregory:

THE FAMINE
(from Galway 1926)
The famine; theres a long telling in that, it is a thing will be remembered
always.
That little graveyard above, at that time it was filled up of bodies;
the Union had no way to buy coffins for them. There would be a
bag made, and the body put into it, that was all;and the people dying
without priest, or bishop, or anything at all. But over in Connemara
it was the dogs brought the bodies out of the houses,and asked no leave.
***************************
The world is better now than when it was, for I remember the time I saw
men dying out of their standing with the hunger, I seen two brothers
dying in a little corner of a field, and nothing around them only the wall.
I seen women watching the hen to lay an egg that theys bring it into
the Market to get kitchen for the children, and they couldnt put one
on the fire.
****************************
I saw three men transported for sheep stealing, and I saw twenty-eight legs of
mutton taken out of the garden of one of them. To salt them they did, and to put
them in a cellar in the ground. It was to New South Wales these two were sent,
and they were put to work in a gold mine. And at their death there was sent back
to their family four thousand pounds in money. But when it was got in no good
way it did not last, it went to the bad like the froth of the stream.
******************************
There was a woman in the time of the Famine and she was dying for the want of
food, and she with six or seven pounds that was in sovereigns tied about her
neck ,and a farthing along with them. But she would not break a sovereign to
take a shilling out of it. And a rat came u p and ate the thread and brought
away the sovereigns to its hole, but the farthing it left outside.
That is a true story. It is up in the mountains the woman was.
********************************************************
A LONG REMEMBERING
The longest thing I remember is the time of the sickness, and my father that
was making four straw mats for four brothers the died,and that couldnt afford
coffins. The bodies were put in the mats and were tied up in them. And the
second thing I remember is the people digging in the stubble after the oats and
the wheat to see would they meet a potato, and sometimes they did, for God sent
them there.
*************************************************
THE CHOLERA
The cholera was worse again. It came from foreign, and it lasted a couple of
years, til God drove it out of the country. It is often I saw a man ploughing
the garden in the morning till dinner time and before evening he would be dead.
It was as if on the wind it came, there was no escape from it; on the wind, the
same as it would come now and would catch on to pigs. Sheds that would be made
out in the haggards to put the sick in; they would turn as black as your
coat.There was no one could go near them without he would have a glass of
whiskey taken, and he wouldnt like it then.
************************************************
AT THE TIME OF THE FAMINE
As to the Martins of Ballinahinch, there got to be a debt on it, and Tom Martin
borrowed two barrels of gold from the Law Life Company. They were brought to the
house at Ballinahinch, and it was at the time of the Famine and Tom Martins
tenants were carried away by the hundred to the Poorhouse at Clifden. And he
went to see did they get any sort of good attendance or nourishment, and they
did not get it. And he took the fever and went home and took to his bed and they
got nurses for him. And after his death there was no sign of the two barrels of
gold. Some said the Misses took the one of them , and it might have been the
daughter and the man she married took the other. It is the way the estate went.
The Colonel, Tom Martins father, went traveling through England and France and
Spain and Portugal spending money in every place. One time he stopped so long
away his wife that he left home went away with some rich man,I forgot his name.
They went to his house that was between Oughterard and Galway. She stopped in
that house and never went out of it, fearing that Colonel Martin might come back
and that if he knew she was in it he would take the life of the man she was
with. And when the Colonel came back and found the wife gone he went looking for
her, and he never could get a sight of her because she was shut up on the house,
and he knew if he went to it he would not be let in. He knew well she was there,
but he had no proof.And one day he met with a peddler that was acarrying little
things for sale in a kishoge, and he asked the peddler to peel off his clothes
and give them to him in exchange for his own clothes. And I might meet you some
other time again, he said. so the peddler peeled off his clothes and the
Colonel put them on, and he took the kishoge and went to Galway and to-you know
this yourself better than I can tell you-the best jeweller-and he filled the
kishoge with every sort of gold things till it was full up, and then he went to
the rich mans house and knocked at the gate and the n the servant girl came and
opened it. He asked leave to come in then and he showed her the kishoge, and
because such things as he had are dear to women, the girl let him as far as the
kitchen.Ask your mistress to come look at the things,he said then.Oh,said
the girl,I cannot do that for she is in her bed yet. Bring them up then to
the bed, says he,and let her make her choice.. So the girl took the kishoge
and went opening door after door going through the house, and the Colonel had
but slippers-Oh, he was very clever!And he slipped on the slippers and went
following her from door to door and she not hearing him following after her.
They came then to the door where the lady was and she gave a jerk of her elbow
to the man that was in the bed with her. If Martin is living, she said, that
is him walking. The man jumped up then, and there was a table where he had
three revolvers always on it. But the Colonel ran past the girl and took the
revolvers from the table before he could reach them. Then he looked at his wife
and at the man, and he said,I have seen you now and I have a witness. I might
shoot you now,he said,but I never like to shoot a man in his bed.And he might
have shot him, for there was no law in the country to prevent him doing it. and
he turned and walked out of the house and the gold things he had he gave them to
the girl. He went then to Galway and took the law against the rich man and he
took the barrel of gold from him, full of sovereigns and half sovereigns that it
was past counting and went by weight. And he sent for Tim Hart that was in his
employment and he said,Get a car and drive through all the streets of Galway
and scatter that to every poor person that is in the streets.So Tim Hart got
the car and put the barrel on it and went scattering the gold through the
streets. The rich man, now, had set a man having a pistol at every street corner
to kill Colonel Martin before he could leave the town. But when they saw the
great relief that came to Galway and to every poor person with the scattering of
the gold their heart changed in them, and every one of them put up his pistol
and turned away. Tim Hart came back and told the Colonel he had scattered all
the gold. Did you keep none of it for yourself? said the Colonel I did not
said he. Then you will never live to be rich said he, where you didnt put
some of it in your own pocket.And I remember my father telling me he saw Tim
Hart, an old man and a poor man, gathering seaweed at that strand beyond like
any other one. As to the wife, she outlived the Colonel. And when her death was
near she came to her son Tom, at the house of Ballinahinch, and offered him to
redeem the property if he would let her in to die at home. But he would not let
her in. The Colonel was followed from Galway another time by bailiffs, and they
had three of the best horses in Galway following him, but they could not come up
with him on his little grey mare.

VICTORY IN THE TIME OF FAMINE
Michael Boyle,Fermanagh,Henry Glassie, 1972

There was ma man named McBrien
He lived somewhere in Rossdoney, in the Point of Rosdoney as they call it.
And he had a wife
and five children
five young children
And they hadnt a haet;there was no food.
there was no food
and they were in a starving condiditon
And he said hed fish
hed try and fish in the Arney River ,
that run along his land,
that was convenient to his land.
He said hed fish
try and fish to see would he get a few fish to eat
thatd keep them from dying.
So he did; he went out this day,
and he caught seven fish.
Well he went every day
well for a good many days
And he caught seven fish every day
And one of the children died anyway.
And he caught six then.
And he caught six every day.
The number went down to six.
Aye, I heard that too, about the time of the Famine.That happened
in Rossdoney, the townland of Rossdoney, along the Arney River there.
Now that happened; it was told anyway.
It came down from the famine days.
