[#1890] Orphan Riders

[Gjest]

Ønsker å forhøre meg om der er noen som arbeider med disse barna som i sen l8OO-opp til l92O bli sent ut fra NYC i USA til diverse folk i mid vesten. Jeg har kontakt med enn nonne som vil gjerne få litt opplysning hvis mulig. Takk så mye. Elsie Hidle

Hello,I do not read Norwegian, but I was looking at your posting and wondered if you asking about the orphan trains started by Charles Loring Brace and the Children's Aid Society in N.Y.C. There is a new book out about the lives of the children after they arrived in the midwest - often very miserable. I can't remember the name of the book, but, if you looked at www.amazon.com under the subject Orphan Trains or Charles Loring Brace, I am sure you would find it.Jan Holmes (jmhdwh@aol.com)
