By the end of the Civil War, an estimated 30,000 homeless and orphaned children roamed the streets of New York City. In response
to this crisis, the age of orphan asylums began, culminating in one of
the most improbable and audacious episodes in American history. Called
the Orphan Train Movement, it endeavored to save these children lost to
the streets by heroes who fought for their liberation. Taught by Michael Keene: Professor of History, University of Prince Edward Island
