Between 1854 and 1929, an estimated 200,000 homeless children, mostly from New York and other eastern U.S. cities, migrated to other states to find families through the Children's Aid Society, begun by minister Charles Loring Brace. Some of these orphan train riders share their stories--their memories, disappointments, and joy of belonging to a family.
