Between 1854 and 1930, more than 200,000 orphaned or abandoned children were sent west on orphan trains to find new homes. Some were adopted by loving families; others were not as fortunate. In recent years, some of the riders have begun to share their stories. Andrea Warren alternates chapters about the history of the orphan trains with the story of Lee Nailling, who in 1926 rode an orphan train to Texas.

Who could speak of a sad period in our history like one of the children who was pulled away from everything known to them and cruelly placed in the whole unknown. So glad this child got a good home, I’m sure many didn’t. Wonderful story to share with my 11 year old.

I really like this book the reader of the book did very good voices and it was very imfortive and very good story my only complaint is that it says it’s one boy’s story while many children were involved and half of the story was also his brothers so that confused me but overall very pleasing and amazing 🤩

Pretty good 😊
