A REMARKABLE TRAVEL EXPERIMENT: "Between 1856 and 1860 nearly 3,000 Latter-day Saint emigrants 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). This was, according to historian LeRoy Hafen, "the most remarkable travel experiment in the history of Western America." [6]

DRIVE: “The fire of emigration blazes … to such an extent that the folks are willing to part with all their effects, and toddle off with a few things in a pocket handkerchief.” —William H. Kimball [1]
