West By Orphan Train

It seems incomprehensible that there was a time in America's not-so-distant past when nearly a quarter of a million children from East Coast orphanages were loaded on trains and sent west, where they were presented for the picking. This is the story of these children during an era that lasted from 1854 to 1929.
