    Extractions: This program focuses on the Victorian child from the middle of the 19th century to just past the turn of the 20th century. A child's place in the family and in the world changed greatly during this time, and Clement will bring it to life for you with photographs, artifacts and stories of children, their families and their lives—from the pampered darling to the child put to work in a factory or a field. The Hispanic Roots of Cowboy Culture This presentation answers the question "Where did cowboys come from?" by showing how cowboy culture was developed in Mexico by Mexican, Indian and African slaves and rich landholders. Participants learn about the Hispanic traditions of ranching, branding, roping, trail driving, horsemanship and the roundup, from which the "rodeo" developed. Garcia also shows how Mexican storytelling and singing led to cowboy yarns, tall tales, poetry and ballads. History, story and music are combined to tell the saga of the Mexican-American cowboy. Kiowa Tales These are the stories, tales and legends of Set-Angia, Sitting Bear's Native American people. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, these stories reveal the Kiowa vision of the world—from the time of Creation to the coming of the white man. Attired in native dress, Sitting Bear brings to the audience through his storytelling the thinking and customs of his Kiowa people, legends such as why the Crow is black and how the Coyote got his yell.

    Extractions: ISSN: pending Good Evening from the Black Swamp of NWoHIo, Long in our history there have been those who sold themselves for the price of a fare to America. At one time different prices were attached to various ethnic groups: $60 to 80 for a German; $40 for a Frenchman; English and Scots brought $30; and an Irishman was worth $20 to $25. The Spaniard or Portugese brought nothing. So, I was not surprised when reading about the Orphan Train sagas that the beholder placed the price of servitude upon those who got off the train. Some were treated as "new" family members and some were treated as boarders, and some as just another hand around the home or farm.. Ads were placed in local papers along the train's route to announce the arrival of children who were riding from New York. When the trains arrived the children were lined up on the railroad platforms or somewhere near by to be looked over by townspeople. If one wasn't chosen they were herded [or loaded] back onto the trains to repeat the performance at the next stop. Hopefully all the children would be "placed out" before the end of the tracks. It is said that 150,000 children rode the Orphan Trains between 1854 and 1929. And, it is said that of those, nearly 3500 riders were "placed out" in Nebraskan homes.

    Extractions: Our History and Heritage A Tradition of Trust The year was 1887, and the country's expansion westward continued at a feverish pace as land speculators rushed to stake their claim. Railroads forged track through the untamed prairies, leaving new cities in their wake. Train after train brought passengers to populate the bustling frontier towns. One train brought some very special cargo to such a community. Abandoned children from the northeastern part of the United States came to Fort Worth on the railroad as part of the orphan train movement. Those who made it this far west were the "leftovers," the stronger having already been plucked from the trains to work in farms or factories. Methodist missionary minister I.Z.T. Morris (photo at left) took in the little ones, and working with local residents and the railroad, helped find them homes. Thus began The Children's Home Society, which was chartered in 1904 as The Texas Children's Home and Aid Society. Renamed The Edna Gladney Home in 1950, the non-sectarian, state licensed adoption agency today is known as the Gladney Center for Adoption. Some 112 years after its inception, one man's mission has evolved to become an internationally recognized institution that has placed more than 24,000 children in homes and served more than 36,000 birth mothers. "It's really remarkable that Gladney has celebrated over 100 years of service, and that we're still continuing to evolve and grow," says President Michael McMahon, the first adoptive parent to hold the position. "Over the years, Gladney has always responded to society's changes and our clients' requirements."

    Extractions: This year we are studying orphan trains and preparing for point of view/clarificatoin writing. You are to read A Family Apart by Joan Lowery Nixon and prepare a point of view essay. Summary: New York City in the mid-1800's is a rough place to raise six children alone. When the widowed Mrs. Kelly realizes that she can't keep her children from starving, or from breaking the law. she makes the agonizing decision to send them west on the Orphan Train. At least they'll be raised by families who can care for them. The children do not understand the love behind her decision. The oldest child, 13-year-old Frances Kelly, is further dismayed when she realizes that her siblings will be divided among different families. In order to care for her youngest brother, Frances disguises herself as a boy and becomes "Frankie." When she joins her new family, she finds herself not only in a new environment, but also right in the middle of breaking the law-helping slaves to escape on the Underground Railroad. This exciting adventure story takes readers on a thrilling ride through one of the darkest chapters in American history. By Michael Foster, Seneca, KS

    Extractions: The Story of the Orphan Train will be dramatically recreated when actress Pippa White appears in The Story of the Orphan Train at 7:00 pm on March 27th 2003, at Chambers Library, University of Central Oklahoma. Orphan Trains are a part of American History that few know about. The movement was the forerunner of modern day foster care. Starting in 1854 children living on the streets of New York were rounded up, cleaned up and put on trains to rural America. The Story of the Orphan Train is a dramatization of stories recounting the Orphan Train experience as told by those who lived it. Chambers Library is honored to house and preserve a collection of memorabilia donated by Alice Bullis Ayler, one of the last of 200,000 children to be transported from New York City to the Midwest on Orphan Trains. Alice is an Alumnus of UCO and was granted the University’s Distinguished former student award. She received her BA in Psychology in 1973 and her Master’s degree in 1977. The event is sponsored by UCO Friends of the Library and is free and open to the public.

    Extractions: "They put us all on a big platform in some big building while people came from all around the countryside to pick out those of us they wished to take home. I was four years old, and my sister was only two . . ." This is how one woman remembered her 1914 orphan train experience, one that she shared with at least 200,000 others from 1853 to 1929. The orphan trains carried children, teenagers, and some adults (mostly women) out of eastern cities to rural communities. They were removed from poverty and want, incarceration and institutionalization. Some went to Connecticut, Vermont, Illinois, Nebraska, Virginia, and Texas. By the time the relocation program ended, youngsters were scattered across the breadth of America. When it began, the program was called "placing out." Today it is know as the "orphan trains." The practice began with the New York Children’s Aid Society, but it was taken up by other charities – the Children’s Mission to the Children of the Destitute (Boston), the New York Juvenile Asylum, the New England Home for Little Wanderers (Boston), and the New York Foundling Hospital. By the late 1800s, charities in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois also adopted the program, sending children to states farther west. Each agency had its own placement policies; the New England Home for Little Wanderers, for example, strongly encouraged legal adoption, but New York Juvenile Asylum placements were by legal indenture only. Agencies, however, varied little in procedure.
