Orphans On A Train: Separated From His Sister & Put To Work In The Mines

A child and his sister are sent on an orphan train out west and then fostered separately, with different families. Unfortunately, the boy is treated indifferently and forced to work in the mines and is left unschooled. The only thing he has to look forward to is the next visit from his caretaker and the remote possibility of one day being reunited with his sister.
