- Happy
Valley School and Orphan Train In 1992 I decided to research the
formation of a children's home called Happy Valley School located in Pomona,
NY. It had been a home for thousands of neglected boys and girls in the
metropolitan New York area from 1911 to 1972. My three brothers, my sister
and I had called it home. During research for a book on Happy Valley, I came
across a treasure trove of information that documented a little known era in
American society. It is the era of the "Orphan Train."
- Orphan
Trains - Kansas Beginning in 1854, charitable institutions in
New York City began sending orphans on trains to the west to find new
families, feeling that the children would fare better out west than on the
streets of New York. Orphan trains arrived in Kansas between 1867 and 1930,
and some 5000-6000 children were placed in Kansas homes.....
- Orphan
Trains - Missouri documents the history of the children
on those Orphan Trains and their struggles, their successes, and their
failures. Touching stories of volunteers who oversaw the placement of the
orphans as well as stories of the orphans themselves make this a rich record
of American and midwestern history.
