Note written by Anabela Bowen Ireland, The Lakota, Edward O'Brien, Juana Bohan and the People O'Brien First I will provide a simplified or rather 'simplistic' management of the land in Ireland. In 1840 the land in Ireland was in the hands of landowners that had subdivided into leases. Many of these tenants also subarrendaban. Tenants with a few acres in 1841 amounted to 408000 and 65000 of these areas had less than 1 acre (1 Hectare is approximately 2.5 acres). Farmers were seen as the guys who were 6 to 15 acres. The land cultivation was divided into an area for growing potatoes that would be used to feed the family and animals, and another area - in the case of having enough space - for cereals that Most served to pay rents. Tenants and subarrendatarios also made part of the money needed to sell chickens, eggs, butter, jam and what they could produce on the farm, and also doing work for larger farms, and according to the areas in the collection of peat moss, algae, and the fishing. Most of the Irish Did not own the land. Let us continue with the Pope. The pope; native of Peru, was introduced in Ireland in 1590, and provided much food and a person's life of the field because it was very easy to grow and so left him time to work on what he was going to represent entry of money. First cultivated a variety of potato, but then was switched to another growing poorest in the land, giving greater harvest tubers and it was also resistant to diseases such as' dry rot '(' dry rot 'caused by a fungus) . As a result, the population of Ireland in 1800 which was a little over 3,000,000 grew to 8,500,000 for 1845. As the population grew land was subdivided in order to feed the greatest number of people, and as a result there was a decline in agricultural production and take over the lack of space. In 1845 this pope is attacked by a fungus which is not resistant phythophthora infestans (Drop potato), which was the cause of what is call 'The Great Famine' and whose worst period was 1845 to 1847, but lasted until 1850. There were other famines in Ireland earlier in the years 1816-17, 1822, 1826 and 1831causando considerable number of deaths through starvation and pests that hunger brings, but none like this. This fungus also attacked, causing many deaths in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, England, USA and southern Canada, but did not affect as much as Ireland which depended mainly for food on the potato. The grain crops were unaffected, but they went to England and unfortunately continued going in the midst of famine. During Famine The state took various assistance measures that brought mixed results, and was mainly in the hands of landowners alleviate the situation. Some gave the necessary help, but most of them were not. Unemployment, lack of money, and hunger increased. While some were in misery, others made money from poverty, as lenders and unscrupulous traders who sold fiado at very high prices. Also increased thefts primarily by the need, but for some as a solution to the situation, since the punishment was going to do heavy work in Australia - and this represented a dream for the future before dying of starvation. Many people began to emigrate to the United States and Canada. Many of them died in these trips which themselves were very hard and for most people that was already weakened by suffering. The ships were filled with emigrants to North America began to call them coffins boats for the amount of people who died in them. "An example of these boats was the 'Elizabeth and Sarah', which departed in July 1846 from County Mayo to Canada. It carried 276 people, instead of 212 that were on the list, and had 8700 gallons of water for the journey, instead of 12,532 that was what they should have. Each passenger was entitled to 7 pounds (approximately 3.5 kilograms) of supplies each week, but did not receive anything similar. The 276 passengers cuchetas shared 32, and there was no sanitary facilities of any kind. The trip took eight weeks, because the captain took the wrong course, the boat also averió near their destination and had to be towed 42 people died ...." and the rest vast majority contracted typhoid. Not only poor people migrating also to the flow of emigrants joined merchants, craft people and the business class, and when it became apparent that the economy collapsed and could not cope with the excessively high taxes. Between 1846 and 1852, more than one million people left Ireland between 1851 and 1910 and about four million. All these emigrants began to send money to their relatives when they could and Ireland began to have a significant input of money from this great migration. With this one I pincelazo of Ireland who saw Edward O'Brien and Jane Bohan before emigrating. From here more change their names by Edward O'Brien and Juana Bohan. Edward O'Brien was born in Wexford in 1836. The South Wexford was not one of the areas most affected by famine, because there were growing peas, which helped them a lot to be able to feed. When Eduardo had 15 years old, his parents decided to emigrate. First arriving in Rio Grande, Brazil, but soon after in the year 1852 are going to Argentina and down in Carmen de Areco, who was then a center of sheep. In 1877 he married Juana Bohan Brightwell and will buy the property where Bragado Saint Eduardo. When railroad Suipacha to Bayauca divided the land of St. Edward in two, the station is built O'Brien. The station had to bear the name of a prócer, then Eduardo wanted to be known as O'Brien said, "as General John O'Brien Thomond O'Brien." After having started to build enthusiasm for the people and in 1907 supported by Juana is planned by the people and donate land for public buildings, schools and places. He also provided money for the construction and decoration of the Church of O'Brien in Gothic style designed by architect Robert Lornax. Some years before dying when they had the first symptoms of an ailment makes a trip to Egypt, Jerusalem and Ireland, and with the distraction of the journey again improved, but then gets worse and died on Monday December 8, 1912, at his home in Street USA 3105 Capital Federal, his remains were buried in his vault in the Recoleta Cemetery. There was a mass of this body on Wednesday 10 at the Church "Holy Cross" (St. Croix) officiated by Father Fidelis Rush and assisted by Parent and Pedro Patricio. His wife Juana Bohan died a few years after the November 2, 1917. To conclude this note include a word that Jane told my father: "You have to look at the culture and lifestyle of the indigenous peoples of these lands and form a completely new model. The models brought by all those who arrive by crossing seas not served and create something they never knew: Poverty. "
