"The Minnesota State Public School for Dependent and Neglected Children housed more than ten thousand children during its sixty year history. Harvey Ronglien shows readers a panoramic view of this institution, first through the eyes of a child, then as an adult, and finally as its most proactive and respected historian." - Joan Claire Graham, author of the Minnesota Memories book series --- "A Boy from C-11 takes readers into the world of American orphanages that no longer exist. This is an honest, heart-wrenching account of one boy's struggles to overcome his difficult childhood and his later commitment to ensure that the children of the State School will not be forgotten. People of all ages can learn from Harvey's stories." - Nancy Vaillancourt, Owatonna Historian
