Man! Paranoia, fear, and ignorance, I'm glad stuff like that doesn't happen these days. Oh wait....
As I have told people for years while donning my Tin hat... Paranoia is a PERFECT READINESS ;)
"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it." Or the Steve Dease version "History not only repeats itself, it also rhymes!"
Beat me to it.
Well done again Scott - keep 'em coming!
#FACT
I haven't thought of this story in a bit. When I first moved to
PA from NJ I watched a show on PCN with local authors & their books. Really interesting stuff. RRs, Caves, Ghosts, the Johnson Gang. It was great. Learning new things about my state. Anyway William wrote the Ghosts of Duffy's Cut. Tells the story & mentions that among the students at Immaculata ghosts of workers have been seen on the lawns down near the tracks. This was early 90's so they hadn't started digging yet. Got the book & over the years kept up on it. Local news. Knew about the reinternments but I'm sad to see the trackside memorial in such a state. I know we have an Irish canal workers monument on Bulls Island at Raven Rock NJ. The DE & Raritan Canal has burials all long it with some buried in the Griggstown Cemetery. The local Eagle Scouts cleaned them up. Thanks for this 🌞
Thanks for watching! Be sure to join on other adventures.
Thank you for this. My great grandfathers were brakemen for the PRR. My 3rd great grandfather and his son in law were brutally killed by trains in the 1800s in Altoona, PA.
The number to death due to train accidents in OUR valley is absolutely mind boggling. Even as far out here through Huntingdon County.
We have a family story about one of our Irish ancestors and Duffys Cut. As I remember, it was my 3x grandfather who was an indentured servant to the railroad. A supply train left camp and the switch track wasn't flipped. He saw a train coming unexpectedly on the spur that they were building. He hopped on a horse and tore down the track, being shot at for they thought he was a horse thief and attempting to escape the RR. He managed to stop the train before it ran out of track. On board was some congressman or someone of stature whom had the power to award my grandfather with a coin silver conductors watch and relieved him of his duty to the railroad, making him a free man. He came back to visit his old crew at Duffys Cut, only to find them all dead and replaced. I want to visit this site and pay respects.
Thank you for sharing. Great history.
I used to play in the woods near there as a kid with my sister and friend. We used to find lots of interesting bottles. But the main thing was the spooky feel of the area. It was the mid 1970’s and we had no idea of the history. Love this video. It gives me goosebumps!
Great Job Scott!!! A very sad story. I'm sure glad that the truth was found out.
The story is not over... yet.
This is such a good video. Brings to light what those poor people unfortunately went through. Believe it or not. I actually work on the tracks that run right there and I’ve been by this site numerous times and I can tell you firsthand a lot of weird and unexplained noises come from the woods, especially at night. There’s been times when working in that area. I get some very bad vibes.
I believe tragic death leaves behind a sort of recording in the grounds and remains of bodies... I often think this is what causes "reactions" to those who are sensitive to their surroundings.
Great story scott, I've heard about Duffy's cut but didnt know the historical facts..look forward to your next adventure
I hope there is some big breakthrough at some point. Like a great grandchild comes across a journal of the wrong doers.
This parallels a similar occurrence that happened near Rock Springs, Wyoming. A large number of Chinese rail laborers were told to wait in a flat area to be paid. Explosives were hidden beforehand and were set off killing many. Railroad foreman stationed around them on high ground fired rifles at the survivors. This was apparently done to avoid paying the workers.
The 1885 Rock Springs Massacre... what a horror story.
What a sad story, but your right it needs to be told. You are a great history fact sharer/storyteller and explorer.
This was a somber sight, which really set my personal mood when I finally arrived.
I am 1/8th Irish. My great-great-grandfather emigrated to Pennsylvania.
Great history!
If you are enough lucky to be Irish, than you are Lucky enough :D
I knew of Duffy's Cut but didn't delve into the detailed history yet. Very interesting!
Glad that file existed and glad the people knew of the atrocity.
Be careful when you go out there... the neighborhood is a bit stiff shirted. ;) (And there is sooo much more to the story... but you know, time limits, metrics, viewership, etc.)
Thank you for rendering a concise but comprehensive retelling of this story Scott. It needs to be told and never forgotten. It has a lot of meaning to me as my Great grandparents were Irish Catholic straight from Ireland; however, they arrived late in the late 1800's and lived in Philadelphia. Our country's history is full of disgraceful incidents like this one. The Lenape people, the Quakers, the Irish, The black people all had their turn in being persecuted in the Delaware valley area and abroad.
I often thought there should be a book written entitled, "The History of the United States and Darwinism"
@@ODDySEEy Scott, look up and read about what the Europeans did to the Aborigines in Australia in the name of "science". They deemed the indigenous people as being some sort of transitional sub-hominoid species to be exploited as specimens. Aborigines were mercilessly murdered and their body parts shipped to universities in Europe to be studied by anthropologists. I hope that hell is a real place and the perpetrators of these crimes against humanity burn there forever as the Bible says.
Wow! That’s unbelievable!!!
And the unbelievable part is what is still being told... even though we have PROOF of the results.
Ironically Duffy's Cut is a stone's throw from the site of Paoli Massacre of the Revolution. There must be a hex on this area.
LOL... I think there are Hex's all over PA ;) But that is what makes this state great.
I just stumbled upon your channel by chance today, and I've been binge watching your stories. I'm hooked!
I'm humbled. Welcome aboard!
Back in the 1700s there was a massacre of the peck family just north of Breezewood Pa right today there are still members of the tech family living in the area
Fortunately those who exist today do not need to be punished for their fathers sins. ;) I was going to talk about the Peck family massacre, but that will have to wait until I hit on the stories that lead up to the commonality of how many "mob" style retributions took place between 1700-1830's.
I believe Ireland has a great intellectual tradition that goes back over 1000 years. The impoverished state resulted from English conquest and domination.
I concur.
Unbelievable and amazing story
Truth is always stranger than fiction.
Very fascinating. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The railroad has a ton of blood on its hands
#TRUTH #ONLYTHEFACTS
Interesting, huge mortality rate with the cholera pandemic, yet today we have a pandemic that most people shrug off easily, and in many cases need a test to even know they have, yet we are ALL being pushed and pushed to have the vaccine, one that is showing to have an alarming rate of side effects.
I always thought the Irish were lauded on this side of the Pond so your video is certainly an eye opener! My last name is Flynn which is Irish, I have never been to Ireland (except to change planes at Shannon and Dublin airports), but I believe my Great Grandparents came from Ireland. Keep up the good work!
The similarities of who we once were are always colliding with who we are now. Somewhere along the line the education system forgot to keep teaching history and the reason why we know what happened in our history.
@@ODDySEEy History is a funny thing. So is education. I now believe we have gone through lots of 'Resets', and we are going through one now. With each Reset comes the destruction of the current model of living as well as the altering and erasing of certain aspects of our history. We are seeing it now with statues being removed and destroyed and with the increased secularization of society.
Great Video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
I heard about that, but never heard the whole story,, Thanks for sharing !
Thanks for coming back each time :D
great story scott!! a new one for me to research and read about.... thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it
Another great story Scott thank you for your research and keep up the good work
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for this video. Cruel and horrific story.
Wow scott, another great video!
Thanks for watching!
I found the videos that I watched super super informative and interesting, but now my curiosity is way up and I wonder if you have done any research on the Cove Forge area by Williamsburg, or the Aetna Furnace area or the area around Tippery Road out side of Alexandria and Water Street Shaffersville Road
Aetna has a full video... the Concrete Arrow falls within Cove territory... Phillips Rangers are in Woodcock Valley on the other side of the Cove... I have hit the Blue Hole... BUT... I cannot get a pinpoint on the location of the Woodbury Ghost Mine (which was one of the first locations on my list) and I keep tossing back and forth doing the Giant Sequoia tree from a California Seed.
Oh wow. Ive never heard of this here in PA
Because TPTB (the powers that be) don't WANT you to hear about this site. ;)
Oh my heavens....the history of this.....its *gulp*.......sobering.....
Try this one ua-cam.com/video/QCm9pw7q288/v-deo.html
Awesome video Scott!
Figured you would like this one. ;)
Very interesting. Very sad some of the things that were once done. Disgusting the things that appear to be coming.
You think that is bad... stay tuned as I work up to the Molly's. ;)
Never heard of it but thanks. Now I understand y moms mom dispised my Dad n oldest brother n me we all had red hair n left handed ,( child of the devil) grandmother was prejudiced only against Irish n we were of Dutch .n.German decent.
Sounds a lot like things going on today
"Who We Once Were" ;)
"Paxton Boys" sort of an earlier version of the " East Whiteland Horse Company" ?
Yup... and that is a whole other story.
I love it when you bring to light stories I've never heard before.
Incidentally I think one viewer of this may descended from the killers. 😁
I am sure there are many of the killers descendants out there (2 generations worth) and if they watch my video, I hope they come forward with THEIR story... we may be surprised at what they tell us.
Thanks for this Erin go bragh
Erin go bragh!
You are the Indiana jones of central Pennsylvania haha
That hat is just to keep the spiders and their webs off my face :D
I suspect that there was no cholera there at all.
I would agree... but we would only know if someone scientifically searches for its genetic marker in those whom are interned.
Leave it to an American to call Irish non european...
Leave it to a lonely person to annonce how they are offended by non inclusivity and believe groupthink is not a psychological disorder.
So while this is a very well produced video to describe the occupation of Ireland an enslavement of it's people is either misinterpretation or exaggeration. The Irish people were never considered property of anyone, they were tenant farmers who were mistreated, yes. The land was what the British occupiers owned, often as absentee landlords.
Right... Serfdom is not Slavery. Ok. Thanks for Watching :)
