Handcart Companies[edit edit source]
Between 1856 and 1860 nearly 3,000 emigrants from the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints joined ten handcart companies--about 650 handcarts total--and walked to Utah from Iowa City, Iowa, (a distance of 1,300 miles) or from Florence, Nebraska (1,030 miles). Among these courageous handcart pioneers were cobblers, factory workers, farmers, fisherman, and aristocrats. Swiss, Danish, Scottish, Norwegian, Welsh, and English immigrants; they often didn’t share the same language. However they did share the same desire, to reach the Rocky Mountains and live among the members of their newfound church. This was, according to historian LeRoy Hafen, 'the most remarkable travel experiment in the history of Western America.' [1][2] See also Mormon Trail and Latter-day Saint Emigration and Immigration.
Many families have a tradition that their ancestry came to Utah in a handcart company. These and others came overland between 1847 and 1868.
