Books To learn more about the orphan train, visit these Web sites: http://www.hamilton.net/subscribers/hurd/ This site was created by Howard Hurd, who was removed from an abusive home in New York and rode the orphan train to the Midwest. He tells about reuniting with his brother, and displays photographs of his family and an orphan train reunion. He provides many links to personal Web sites of other orphan train riders. This site gives historical information about the orphan train, relates one boy's personal story, and lists over twenty related books suited to readers of different ages. This children's book, suitable for a nine- to twelve-year-old reading level, is the first in a series of seven about the orphan train. Set in the 1860s the popular series follows the lives and adventures of six siblings who travel by orphan train from New York City to live with farm families in Missouri.
