  1. Famine Times

    Share Share Post
    In black '47 the people were so hungry that they ate raw turnips and cabbage and the farmers had to place men with guns in their gardens to keep men from stealing the vegetables. When my grandfather was young he used have to be in a heeled up box-cart with a gun all night.
