The Evolution of Child Welfare Read the current Strategic Plan Brief History of Child Welfare in America In the United States, an early means of caring for orphans was by indenture. The first American child was indentured in 1636, in Massachusetts. Indenture was often free labor rather than protection. Later, children were placed in almshouses with their parents, and the feeling was that they would set children on a road to life, "free from permanent ignorance, pauperism, and vice." By the mid 1800’s they were recognized as just the opposite. Yet, in 1927, there were still children placed in almshouses throughout the country. In 1806, the New York Orphan Asylum Society, a group of wealthy women interested in the less fortunate, established an orphanage which set the example for many that followed. Children were to get clean linen and clothes regularly, and no physical punishment could be used on the children except by the orphanage’s director. There was a great deal of concern for the morals of the children.

This dramatic book tells of a little-known but enormously influential child welfare effort: the orphan trains, which between 1854 and 1929 spirited away some 250,000 abandoned children to the homes of families in the Midwest and West. Combining the accounts of orphansincluding those of surviving orphans who took the last train outand the biography of an indefatigable crusader for children, Stephen O'Connor at least does this history justice.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE "Once again, O'Connor has used his empathetic genius to bring to life the world of childrenùthis time, the poor children of nineteenth-century New York City. The human problems this book illuminates are problems we have not yet solved." Louis Menand Now in paperback Orphan Trains The Story of Charles Loring Brace and the Children He Saved and Failed By Stephen O'Connor Publication Date: April 1, 2004 UK Publication Date: May 10, 2004 In mid-nineteenth-century New York, vagrant youth, both orphans and runaways, filled the streets. For years the city had been sweeping these children into prisons or almshouses, but in 1853 the young minister Charles Loring Brace proposed a radical solution to the problem by creating the Children's Aid Society, an organization that fought to provide homeless children with shelter, education, and, for many, a new family in the country. Combining a biography of Brace with firsthand accounts of orphans, Stephen O'Connor here tells of the orphan trains that, between 1854 and 1929, spirited away some 250,000 destitute children to rural homes in every one of the forty-eight contiguous states.

Passing through the same buildings on that island where the immigrants took their medical examinations and their verbal tests in hope of entering this country, we felt we could almost hear the shuffle of their weary feet, the murmur of voices, the laughter of children, and the crying of babies. The walls of the buildings are covered with photographs of the immigrants, their faces displaying the intimidation they felt, yet a light in their eyes that showed the hope that lay within them for a better life in America. Those readers who know our other fictional series are fully aware that our stories are filled with romance, adventure, and intriguing plots designed to make the books hard to lay down. They are interlaced with Scripture that will strengthen and encourage Christians, and as always, the Lord Jesus Christ is honored and His gospel made clear.

The Orphan Train Movement Between 1854 and 1929, more than 150,000 orphaned and abandoned city children rode the Orphan Trains to new lives. They were put on the trains in New York and Boston and transported to rural communities in the Midwest and elsewhere, where they were "placed out" in adoptive foster homes. The Orphan Train movement was started in New York City by the Rev. Charles Loring Brace, founder of the Children's Aid Society, in an attempt to deal with the city's growing population of homeless children. While a large number of those who boarded the trains acknowledged that their lives were bettered, others resented the program that placed them in uncaring and even abusive homes. Many Orphan Train riders and their descendants spent their lives searching for their natural families. Others, content with their new lives, never felt the need. Whatever the result, the Orphan Trains are an amazing part of this nation's history. Hundreds of travelers from the later days of the Orphan Train movement are alive still, and gather periodically to share their stories. Although Gratefully Yours and Hank's Story are fictional accounts, the experiences of the orphans in these books are similar to those of actual Orphan Train riders. Research for these books was done with the aid of the Orphan Train Heritage Society of America in Springdale, Arkansas.

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.

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.

A Message From Andrea Warren Dear Students, I believe the orphan trains were a significant event in American history. Not only did the trains impact the lives of upwards of 200,000 children and their descendants, it also impacted our social welfare system. As you study the orphan trains, study as well the living conditions of the time and consider the options available for homeless children. Then decide: Were the orphan trains an appropriate response? Each orphan train rider's story is moving and interesting, but it is important to consider the entire picture. I wish you well in your studies. Your new website and slide shows are most impressive!
