In one of the greatest engineering feats of his time, Claudius
Crozet led the completion of Virginia's Blue Ridge Tunnel in 1858.
Two centuries later, the National Historic Civil Engineering
Landmark still proudly stands, but the stories and lives of those
who built it are the true lasting triumph. Irish immigrants fleeing
the Great Hunger poured into America resolute for something to call
their own. They would persevere through life in overcrowded
shanties and years of blasting through rock to see the tunnel to
completion. Prolific author Mary E. Lyons follows three Irish
families in their struggle to build Crozet's famed tunnel and their
American dream.
