Synopsis
Holding tight to one another, vowing never to be separated, Oliver and Edward board the Orphan Train, headed west to start a new life. Will their promise prove impossible to keep, or will they find a home together? From 1854-1929, America's Orphan Train Movement relocated over 250,000 homeless and neglected children from East Coast cities, to farming communities in the West. Known at the time as "placing out," it was believed that the children would have a better future in the morally upright home of a Christian farmer. With a success rate of over 80%, this ambitious experiment is now recognized as the beginning of Foster Care in America. Orphan Train To Kansas is the true story of Oliver and Edward Nordmark. Together, the boys traveled from the Children's Village Orphanage in Dobbs Ferry, arriving in Bern, Kansas in search of a home. Their story is one of perseverance, resilience and brotherly love that will leave you with a deeper understanding of this nearly forgotten piece of American history. "It's very American - their journey to find their places in the world. I'm attracted to true stories and this one has a lot of heart - a wellspring of drama, humor and adventure. She's a young writer, new to the craft, and she's able to accomplish that. It's very difficult." --William Rotko, Screenwriter - Breach (Universal Pictures)

- h***h (750)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItems were not as described, the items color was listed as black but were navy blue in color. I contacted the seller and let them know they did not bother to reply. I even told the seller I would keep them because I needed it for the day I opened the package. All they had to do was reply with "our mistake" something but i got zero reply hence the netural feedback. I did have to purchase the correct black ones from a different seller. Pictures show my old black one with the new blue ones.
