Can.  The Quarriers
Product Number: P52157-030
William Quarrier, a successful Scottish businessman began a program of caring for street children that, in 1874, led to the establishment of the Orphan Homes of Scotland. During the next fifty years, some 7000 of these children were sent to Canada to begin new lives. This program is their story. Four seniors, orphaned children who were part of that emigration to a strange and far away land, recount their experiences. Their memories start with the long boat trip over the Atlantic. It was a voyage that mixed fear and seasickness with the excitement about the adventures to be faced in a strange land.
