The Massacre at Duffy's Cut: Tragedy & Conspiracy on the Pennsylvania Railroad In June 1832, 57 Irish immigrant laborers arrived in Philadelphia to work on the Pennsylvania Railroad. Their fate was sealed within six weeks, with contractor Philip Duffy claiming that cholera was to blame. For nearly two centuries, the railroad maintained this account, keeping the true story hidden. Recent excavations have uncovered a different truth, revealing that some of the laborers were murdered. Academics and volunteers have uncovered evidence of a tragic and mysterious event at Duffy's Cut. The authors, Dr. William E. Watson and Dr. J. Francis Watson, reveal the shocking details of this forgotten tragedy. Their research sheds new light on a dark period in American history. This book tells the story of the massacre at Duffy's Cut, a tragedy that was hidden for over 180 years.
