“Conquering Gotham: Building Penn Station and Its Tunnels”
By Jill Jonnes
“Conquering Gotham re- creates the riveting struggle waged by the great Pennsylvania Railroad to build
Penn Station and the monumental system of tunnels that would connect water-bound Manhattan to the
rest of the continent by rail. Historian Jill Jonnes tells a ravishing tale of snarling plutocrats, engineering
feats, and backroom politicking packed with the most colorful figures of Gilded Age New York (Amazon review).”
Watch PBS’s American Experience documentary “The Rise and Fall of Penn Station” on line and based on “Conquering Gotham”
