"By the early autumn of 1846, it was clear that the results of the harvest had been very poor in southern Spain. . . . The first to respond to the looming emergency were the speculators and grain traders, who sallied out onto the roads to buy up the grain that the muleteers were bringing to Jerez from the surrounding countryside."

—Christopher Clark, "Revolutionary Spring," p.48
