The Orphan Train was a social experiment that transported children from crowded coastal cities of the United States to the country's Midwest for adoption. The orphan trains ran between 1854 and 1929, relocating an estimated 200,000 orphaned, abandoned, or homeless children. At the time the orphan train movement began, it was estimated that 30,000 vagrant children were living on the streets of New York City. Two charity institutions, The Children's Aid Society (established by Charles Loring Brace) and The New York Foundling Hospital, determined to help these children. The two institutions developed a program that placed homeless city children into homes throughout the country. The children were transported to their new homes on trains which were eventually labeled “orphan trains.” This period of mass relocation of children in the United States is widely recognized as the beginning of documented foster care in America.

Answered by Samantha - Fri May 29 18:19:10 2009 What is the title of this children's book?
Q. All I can recall about this book, which may make this a long shot here, is that the cover of the book is blue, a little girl in braids, and a train. There could be possibly a boy on the cover that sort of resembles huck finn. The little girl in the story ends up being alone somehow, but is rich and meets the poor, orphan boy on the train. That's all I can remember, but if anyone can help with suggestions to point me in the right direction that would be awesome! Asked by ~carmie~ - Tue Mar 24 19:19:45 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Post this question at www.whatsthatbook.com. Hopefully, someone will remember the book. Answered by gormenghast10014 - Thu Mar 26 08:57:14 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Orphan train" |
