In colonial times orphans were raised by families within their farming communities. Then Americans began migrating to cities, where orphans could no longer rely on their neighbors for help. From the almshouses of the 1800s to the foster home programs of the present, this is a look at our country’s evolving attitudes toward its neediest children. Black-and-white photos. Afterword. Bibliography.
