Transcontinental Railroad | The Iron Road | 5
Connie Young Yu
My great-grandfather, Lee Wong Seng, came to the United States in 1866 from Guangdong Province, a village in Toisan, to work on the Transcontinental Railroad. He was 19 years old. My mother, his granddaughter, told me, she goes, your great-grandfather worked on the Iron Road. And she said this in Chinese. Her familiar language was Cantonese, so she said, is Iron Road.
