Dear MrMickroach:--Funny how you got your history wrong! The UP Railroad at the core used Irish and x Civil War vets. The Chinese worked more on the Central Pacific. Check your facts. There were also a hand full of very strong irish working on the Central Pacific the day they laid 10 miles of track! It's all in the records for you to look up!
it's bad that Irish went to America for a better life but were treated like slaves. why? and I wonder why English americans captured the Africans and treated them like slaves too.
I'm Irish and my great grandas father was black so I can kinda say I'm lucky to live the life I am

History shows that the majority of immigrant labour used to build this rail link were chinese. Funny how the irish americans re write history.

Love it when MMM gets his Irish on. His Bard of Armagh/Streets of Laredo is masterful.
