The Iron Puddler

CHAPTER XLIX
9/19

England and Wales have had famines, Ireland has had famines, France has had famines, Russia has a deadly famine after every bad crop year, while in India and China famine is a chronic condition.
America has never had a famine.

But we are not exempt from famine.
In the year 1816, known as the year of "eighteen-hundred-and-froze-to-death," the crops failed throughout America because of freezing weather all summer long.

Little or no food was raised and the Americans would have perished from famine had it not been for the wild meat in the woods.

The people lived on deer and bear that winter.

To-day if our food supply fails we can not live on venison.
No country is by natural law exempt from famine.
