Thank you for thinking of me and including in this....I LOVED this video....new knowledge is always a good thing, even if it tragic.

Kathy, thank you, thank you, thank you . Every video you ever made has been leading up to this. All I can say is wow.

I remember hearing about this in the 1960s when I was in high school. A movie was made about this in 1979. It was called "Orphan Train", directed by William Graham and aired on television on CBS. It is quite a story. A lot of farmers took children just for the purpose of farm workers.

I'm gonna look for this movie now

What a very sad story. Thank you for the share, think all countries have something to be ashamed of. Those poor children. P,ease take care

I vaguely remember hearing about this years ago. Thank you for this video. Great job!

Excellent documentary. You should do more like it! It’s your calling.

Never heard about these stories. These have to be one of the saddest stories ever told. Sooo sad, great job spreading the word on this

My Great Aunt and Uncle took in two children from the orphan train in North Dakota a brother and sister, their mother had died and the father could not take care of all the children. He subsequently place the youngest two on the orphan train as it was traveling thru North Dakota.

Thank you so much for this video. You do these type of videos, on KZread, the best. You have a gift on being able to create emotions in your videos that flood to the viewers. Very sad this happened, but there has been so many things that have also happened, in the past, that needs to be told. You did an amazing job, this video is A++++++. I was the first view on this video but couldn’t comment at that time because the comments were turned off. I came back to see if they were turned back on, to comment.

Thank you for that! There's some sort of glitch. I'll need to check it again in a bit.

Superb work, Kathy! A very similar scheme operated here in Australia between 1913 and 1981. The stories didn't start to come out until one of the former children published a book in 2009.

Remembered finding out about it on an ep. of Unsolved Mysteries years ago. Some survivors were looking for siblings they had been separated from. Very sad.

There a great book called orphan train by Christina baker Kline. It’s fiction but based on this historical fact. I didn’t hear about this time in history until I read that book. Thanks for making this video to share this aspect of our country’s past

I came across that book while researching this. Christina has held a lot of presentations in regards to the book, but she also is passionate about the history. One book I may have to read.

Didn't know about of this.

Did you know this US history existed?
