Book Review: We Rode the Orphan Trains
Summary: 5 Stars
I had no idea of this occurance in American history. It is a wonderful expose of how the big cities tried to solve the orphan issues. Should be a movie for all Americans to see.
Summary of We Rode the Orphan Trains
They were “throwaway? kids, living on the streets or in orphanages and foster homes. Then Charles Loring Brace, a young minister in New York City, started the Children?s Aid Society and devised a plan to give these homeless waifs a chance at finding families they could call their own. Thus began an extraordinary migration of American children.
Between 1854 and 1929, an estimated 200,000 children ventured forth on a journey of hope. Here, in the sequel to Orphan Train Rider: One Boy?s True Story, Andrea Warren introduces nine men and women who rode the trains and helped make history so many years ago.
