Goodreads asked R.W. Raymond:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

R.W. Raymond The idea for 'Famine to Civil War' came to me while I was researching Irish history for another book idea I was pondering. When I read about the 1845 Great Potato Famine and how over a million Irish men, women and children died and another million people fled Ireland, I knew I had another book to write.
