Common Mystics

On this episode of Common Mystics Jen and Jill revisit their past travels to bring you another incredible story from America's past. Between 1853 and 1929, trainloads of children traveled from New York City to rural towns across the Midwest. Collected from orphanages, boarding houses and the city streets, they were put up for adoption. Some found new families and improved circumstances. Others did not. Just how many children were shipped west for adoption? What happened to those who didn't thrive in their new surroundings? How many simply disappeared? We will never know. Tune in now for More Voices From The Road- The Orphan Trains.

York was an important member of Lewis and Clark's epic expedition of 1804-1806. Strong, skilled and capable, he contributed in major ways to their success. But while the other men earned double pay and land as compensation, York received nothing in return. Why? Because he was enslaved by William Clark. And even though the end of York's life remains a mystery, Jennifer and Jill present a narrative of his life based on historical clues and psychic intuition. Listen in now to the first episode of Common Mystics' "More Voices From the Road" series.
