About this product

Product Information

In 1845, a disaster struck Ireland. Overnight, a mysterious blight attacked the potato crops, turning the potatoes black and destroying the only real food of nearly six million people. Over the next five years, the blight attacked again and again. These years are known today as the Great Irish Famine, a time when one million people died from starvation and disease and two million more fled their homeland. Black Potatoes is the compelling story of men, women, and children who defied landlords and searched empty fields for scraps of harvested vegetables and edible weeds to eat, who walked several miles each day to hard-labor jobs for meager wages and to reach soup kitchens, and who committed crimes just to be sent to jail, where they were assured of a meal. It's the story of children and adults who suffered from starvation, disease, and the loss of family and friends, as well as thosewho died. Illustrated with black and white engravings, it's also the story of the heroes among the Irish people and how they held on to hope.

My Son's Favorite Book
My son read this book during his freshman year of high school. He loved it so much that he asked for a copy of it for Christmas this year! It's about the potato famine and has all kinds of letters, poems, and history in it. He is very interested in history and was glad that he read this particular book after his English teacher recommended it. It's one that he never would have picked on his own, but it is one of his favorites now.

Excellent book
I would suggest you read this book and then watch dvd called The Hanging Gale. You will have a good understanding of the situation.
