Until June 1968.
The discovery of the barn has revived a question that no one had thought to ask:
What happened to the Dalhart family?
And why had seventeen children been hidden from the world?
The first official responders arrived late in the evening.

consisting of local police officers, rescue workers and representatives from social services entered the property, expecting a rescue operation.

They were unaware of basic things that other children knew.
They did not understand ordinary conversations.
Few would have imagined that America would one day have sunk into a terrible Great Depression…
They reacted differently to foreigners.
