''The Traffic In Babies'' is a historical book written by George Walker that explores the conditions discovered during an investigation conducted in the year 1914. The book was published in 1918 and provides a detailed analysis of the baby trafficking industry during that time period. Through his investigation, Walker uncovered numerous instances of babies being bought and sold like commodities, often to wealthy families who were unable to have children of their own. He also discovered that many of these babies were taken from poor families who were unable to care for them, and were sold to adoptive parents without their knowledge or consent. In addition to exposing the dark underbelly of the baby trafficking industry, ''The Traffic In Babies'' also sheds light on the social and economic conditions that contributed to its existence. Walker discusses the role of poverty, lack of access to birth control, and societal stigmas surrounding unwed mothers in driving demand for trafficked babies. Overall, ''The Traffic In Babies'' is a fascinating and eye-opening read that provides insight into a little-known aspect of American history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in social justice, human rights, and the history of adoption in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
