Orphan Trains: The Story of Charles Loring Brace and the Children He Saved and Failed
Stephen O'Connor
Appalled by the numbers of destitute children on the streets of New York, Charles Loring Brace created the Children's Aid Society and organised a programme of adoption across the US. Between 1854 and 1929 some 250,000 children were found homes in the country. This is his story, and theirs.
