    Extractions: The Orphan Trains were not widely known about, but are a very important subject in American history. From the 1850s to the 1920s, New York City was packed with immigrants who all lived in tenements. When one person became sick, it easily spread to the whole family or even people in nearby tenements. This was when tragic disasters struck. Because there were no wonder medicines in this time, many of the small children's parents died. These children were prohibited from staying in the tenements where their families had once lived, so they were "kicked out" and they had no place to live and no one to take care of them. The Orphan Train was started in 1856 by Rev. Charles Loring Brace. Whenever Rev. Brace took a stroll outside he saw these poor orphans trying to find work or sell things, such as paper flowers, matches, or doing services like shoe shining and carrying bundles of cloth to sweat shops, and he felt a strong sense of pity for the children. These children, in order to get these goods, had to steal! Rev. Brace got together with a few friends and they established the Children’s Aid Society which created the Orphan Train. The Orphan Train was a train which took homeless orphans out west to families whose children were all grown up or who could not have any children on their own. Of course not everyone wanted to go. Some believed terrible things would happen to them if they left the city. But most were anxious for a new life. In 1929 the government established a law to take care of the orphans themselves and the New York Foundling Home opened. The Orphan Train ended then in 1929.

Although landline technologies from the telephone or cable TV company can support all three, they cannot deliver them at a profit to remote areas. The same is true of current fixed and mobile wireless services. Satellite likely will be the answer in the long term, but it is proving to be a more difficult project than many expected. Satellite carriers have long been video providers to rural viewers and recently have begun competing for high-speed Internet subscribers. But satellite technologies in their current forms have difficulty with simple voice service. The problem is distance. High-powered satellites orbit 20,000-40,000 miles above the earth. It takes a radio signal about a half second to "hop" from a rural consumer on the phone to the satellite and back down to the person on the other end of the call. Telephone connections over very long distances could require multiple hops, resulting in even longer delays. A second or less may not seem like much time, but just try to carry on a normal conversation with those sorts of delays between sentences. It's not that easy. The same delay also complicates other types of interactive communication, such as satellite-delivered teleconferences.

Britain has a long, sad history of forced migrations of orphaned or delinquent children, going back hundreds of years. Canada and Australia, in particular, saw several waves of underage migrants, called "home children," many of them kidnapped or otherwise spirited away to "people the colonies," as official accounts described it.

    Extractions: An American Hero. . . Varian Fry found his courage when called upon to act in a moment of extraordinary historical and personal challenge, saving thousands of lives during the Second World War. After Germany's invasion and partition of France in June 1940, Varian Fry, a young editor from New York, went to Marseilles, France, as the representative of a newly formed, private American relief committee. In Marseilles, Fry offered aid and advice to anti-Fascist refugees who found themselves threatened with extradition to Nazi Germany under Article 19 of the Franco-German Armistice the "Surrender on Demand" clause. Working day and night, in opposition to French and even obstructionist American authorities, Fry assembled a band of associates and built an elaborate rescue network. Convinced that he could not abandon the operation while desperate refugees needed him, Fry extended his stay into a 13 month odyssey carrying on without his passport, under constant surveillance and, more than once, questioned and detained by the authorities. Establishing a legal French relief organization, The American Relief Center, Fry worked behind its cover using illegal means black-market funds, forged documents, secret mountain and sea routes to spirit some 2000 endangered people from France.

    Extractions: About the Young Girl in our Logo What's New on our pages! Addresses Beginning Research ... Join the Team! From 1853-1929 a mass migration of approximately 300,000 orphan children was in progress all across America. It is estimated that 8-10,000 babies, young children and young adults were brought to Iowa from many orphanages in Boston, New York and other northeastern coastal cities. This event is referred to as the 'placing out' system. It was not a new concept as it had been used in Europe for many years prior to its use in America. This method of providing homes for orphans /children was the forerunner of foster care as we know it today. Our developing history of America deals with the rapid influx of immigrants to our country that over-whelmed our ports. We were not prepared with homes, schools, food, medical care and the needs of people who were arriving by boatloads. Eventually children of all ages were left to roam the streets, turning to any source for food, shelter and clothing. They obtained the basic needs of life by any means they could find such as singing on street corners or in bars, shinning shoes selling newspapers or flowers. While some ventured into the life of crime and were taken to jail. Not all children were full orphans. Some had one or both parents living but they could not supply the needs of the child. Therefore, the parent turned them over to the various orphanages that were being supplied by the city.

    Extractions: About CAS Orphan Train Movement The Orphan Train Movement The children ranged in age from about six to 18 and shared a common grim existence. Homeless or neglected, they lived in New York City's streets and slums with little or no hope of a successful future. Their numbers were large - an estimated 30,000 children were homeless in New York City in the 1850s. Charles Loring Brace, the founder of The Children's Aid Society, believed that there was a way to change the futures of these children. By removing youngsters from the poverty and debauchery of the city streets and placing them in morally upright farm families, he thought they would have a chance of escaping a lifetime of suffering. He proposed that these children be sent by train to live and work on farms out west. They would be placed in homes for free but they would serve as an extra pair of hands to help with chores around the farm. They wouldn't be indentured. In fact, older children placed by The Children's Aid Society were to be paid for their labors. The Orphan Train Movement lasted from 1853 to the early 1900s and more than 120,000 children were placed.

    Extractions: Did you know 12,500 orphans from New York City and the Boston area were placed in Michigan from 1854 to 1927? Al and David Eicher, research historians and television producers, spent a year and a half in research and searching for photos of the Orphan Train Riders in Michigan. The lecture and visual presentation provides in depth detail about this event in Michigan's history. Experience the reality of the Orphan Train Rider, the placement, selection process, and the Orphan Train Agents. The first Orphan Train Riders arrived in Dowagiac, Michigan on a Sunday morning in late September 1854. By 1927, 43 Michigan towns received orphans from the “Baby Train”, as it was sometimes called. Most of the children came from the New York, New Jersey and the Massachusetts areas. “Indian History of Michigan's Thumb Region…Ancient and Current Times” Michigan's Thumb region is rich in Native American History, dating back to ancient times. This lecture and visual presentation was developed after several years of research, collecting old photos, newspaper articles, and other historic records. The Ziibiwing Cultural Center plus several Historical Societies and area Museums were helpful in letting Program Source International use and photograph many artifacts presented in the visual portion of this educational program. The presentation covers the ancient and modern times” of Indians living during the Paleo Indian era to the coming of the Anishanabe. The 1600's bring the French traders and the Missionaries. The Eicher's, with their television cameras, went to many Indian Village sites, Indian Mission locations and burial mounds. The presentation covers a visit to the Petroglyphs in Sanilac County. They traveled to the “Great White Rock” in Lake Huron and walked the river banks where treaties were signed. Michigan has a fascinating and active Native American Culture.
