#OTD in 1847 – Choctaw Indians collect money to donate to starving Irish Hunger victims.

Moved by news of starvation in Ireland, a group of Choctaws gathered in Scullyville, Ok, to raise a relief fund. Despite their meager resources, they collected $170 and forwarded it to a U.S. famine relief organisation. The Choctaw Indians may have seen echoes of their own fate in that of the Irish. Just 16 years before, in 1831, the Choctaw Indians were forcibly removed from their ancestral…

An Gorta Mor (The Great Hunger) - This memorial is for those that suffered and died during the Irish Potato Famine during the middle of the 19th century. An aggressive fungus decimated Ireland's potato crops, causing starvation and a mass exodus to America. Hundreds of thousands flooded into the city of Boston and many more settled in other coastal cities. After escaping famine, disease and the cramped voyage across the Atlantic, their troubles weren't over. Although the citizens of Boston sent food and supplies to help Ireland, most didn't want the Irish to settle in America. With limited jobs, many places displayed signs such as "Irish need not apply." Those that survived would go on to make great contributions to their new homeland. In fact, former President John F. Kennedy's family heritage dates back to the famine! This makes me wonder if I can trace my Irish roots back to this time. Maybe my ancestors passed through Boston. In Ireland, the Daughertys were known as the O'Dochartaighs.

The potato is a tuberous vegetable that is native to the Andes of South America. Following the Spanish exploration and exploitation of the South American Indians, the potato was introduced to Europe where it had a profound, beneficial effect on diets of Europeans from Ireland well into Russia. It grew well all over Western Europe and Eurasia. A population explosion followed and continued well…

#OTD in 1847 – In an irate letter published in the Cork Examiner, “A.D.F.” condemns the proselytising (soul-jobbing) of starving Catholics.

“I just now want to draw public attention to a disgraceful practice that was carried on during the period of awful distress, when nothing should sway people from relieving the destitute, the practice of proselytising, a new accompaniment of famine. The duties that devolved on the priest were indeed laborious, inasmuch as they had to combat against famine, disease, and death, on the one hand, and…
