Any student of Virginia history and any person of Irish heritage should appreciate this amazing account.
5.0 out of 5 stars The Blue Ridge Tunnel and Its Builders
This book is the essential companion to the biography of Claudius Crozet. Magnificent social history. If the two authors could collaborate on a synthesis of Lyons work and the ten years of Crozet's life building the tunnel, that would make one complete, complex history.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good review of the building of the tunnel
This book reviews many aspects of the building of what at the time was the longest tunnel in the world. There are several redundancies in the book and it ends with the completion of the tunnel and does not cover many of the interesting elements of it's history in the last 1/2 century, but this is an excellent story of the building of the tunnel and the people involved.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read
This is an great read. We hiked the tunnel in May of 2021 and we wanted to read the book and know the history!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for historical
Great book for everyone that likes history of the b&o railroad
3.0 out of 5 stars This book is far more a study in genealogy and ...
This book is far more a study in genealogy and cultural anthropology than an engineering analysis of the tunnel itself. Who CARES what kind of curtains the laborers hung in their shacks?
5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting history of a amazing engineering feat.
Great book. Well written and researched.
5.0 out of 5 stars Blue Ridge Tunnel
