Description
A quarter million children were touched by the Orphan Train movement from 1854 - 1929. Less than one hundred of these people still survive today to share their unique story. Our history books lacked this pertinent information until recently. Although this was the start of what we know today as foster care and adoption, riders were often "looked down upon or felt ashamed".--Amazon.com.
