- I have heard stories about the Famine of 1846-1847 which was caused by the complete failure of the potato crop.
This was the first time ever blight appeared on potatoes.The people at that time depended chiefly on the potato crop for support so that the failure of this crop caused great ruin.People died in thousands from starvation.Thousands of people emigrated and a great many died on the way.- Collector
