In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Children’s Aid Society sent many New York orphans west to be placed with families. This book presents the journey of one orphan, James Sinclair, from three points of view—his, his adoptive mother’s, and that of an aid worker. “Each perspective is based on real things that happened to real people who experienced the orphan trains.” The three stories, each accompanied by a portrait, provide insight into societal structure and living conditions during the time period. Text boxes throughout direct readers to analyze passages or compare sources and characters’ outlooks. Additional photographs and artwork give context to the narratives. Back matter includes discussion prompts, a glossary, books and Web sites for further information, and an index.
