Praise for By Train They Came: Fragile Excess Baggage, Vol. 2 "This book is a wonderful collection of personal stories that speak to the heart of the reader. Endorf covers a wide range of viewpoints, including those of the descendants, foster siblings, and even the agents who placed the children. The illustrations and photographs add to the stories to create a picture of what these children were like. This work is a valuable addition to Orphan Train history." - Stephanie Haiar, Curator, National Orphan Train Complex.
