Extractions: St. Benedict "The Catholics received 20 waifs from a New York asylum last Friday and scattered them in good homes in the county" "Father Schemel of Bancroft has of late found good homes for ten children which were sent him from an orphan asylum in New Yourk which shelters 2,000 waifs. Father Eckert of Wesley has also found good homes for several and we understand that in the vicinity of the Prairie Church fifteen of the homeless children have of late been placed in comfortable homes. One day last week a number of the little waifs from the same place arrived in Algona over the Northwestern Road. All have been place with good families..." The first sentence appeared in the Algona Upper Des Moines November 28, 1894 and the second quotation is from the Algona Courier, November 30 of that same year. These two items publicized an event that deeply affected the lives of many Kossuth County residents, but give no indication that the happening was part of a much larger circumstance that took place over a 40-year period between 1854 and 1904 when thousands of homeless children were brought from New York City by train to towns and farms in rural areas across America.

Extractions: By Bob Patterson Commemorating Orphans and Trains A hundred years ago, the Children's Aid Society and the New York Foundling Hospital were part of a program to help orphans from the East find foster homes in the Midwest. That facet of American history will be remembered in Concordia, Kansas, if the Cloud County Community College Foundation finds sufficient funding to turn a train depot into a museum for that aspect of American history. They have acquired a Union Pacific depot (built in 1917) and are collecting funds to support the effort to establish a home for the history museum that will commemorate the program that ran from 1856 until 1930. It's called the Orphan Train Depot Project. During the era of the Orphan Trains, an estimated 200,000 children were relocated from eastern cities - especially New York City - to the Midwest.

Extractions: Cloth ISBN 0-7006-1119-3, $34.95 With their deep tradition of tribal and kinship ties, Native Americans had lived for centuries with little use for the concept of an unwanted child. But besieged by reservation life and boarding school acculturation, many tribeswith the encouragement of whites-came to accept the need for orphanages. The first book to focus exclusively on this subject, Marilyn Holt's study interweaves Indian history, educational history, family history, and child welfare policy to tell the story of Indian orphanages within the larger context of the orphan asylum in America. She relates the history of these orphanages and the cultural factors that produced and sustained them, shows how orphans became a part of native experience after Euro-American contact, and explores the manner in which Indian societies have addressed the issue of child dependency. Holt examines in depth a number of orphanages from the 1850s to1940sparticularly among the "Five Civilized Tribes" in Oklahoma, as well as among the Seneca in New York and the Ojibway and Sioux in South Dakota. She shows how such factors as disease, federal policies during the Civil War, and economic depression contributed to their establishment and tells how white social workers and educational reformers helped undermine native culture by supporting such institutions. She also explains how orphanages differed from boarding schools by being either tribally supported or funded by religious groups, and how they fit into social welfare programs established by federal and state policies.

Extractions: Tucson Author Alison Moore Explores The History Of The Orphan Train. By Charlotte Lowe BILLY THE KID came west on the Orphan Train. So did the future governors of Alaska and South Dakota. They were three of more than 150,000 orphans and destitute children that rode the railways in search of new homes between 1853 and 1929. Their imagined experiences, full of horror stories as well as happy endings, are what Tucson author Alison Moore and Arkansas bluegrass musician Philip Lancaster recreate in Riders on the Orphan Trail . Written and performed by Moore and Lancaster, it's theater that combines their talents in ballad, short story and lullaby. In one song they take you along on the Orphan Train, "a cradle rocked by iron wheels." Moore and Lancaster give hopeful yet wary voices to those prospective foster children in the refrain: "But maybe this town will be my home. Maybe someone will call my name. Maybe I'll be riding forever, riding on the orphan train." Together they tell the story of thousands of urban children that were "placed out" during an 80-year experiment in child relocation and rehabilitation. Moore said this system began as a philanthropic effort of The Children's Aid Society of New York.
