This is a place for my genealogy. At this time I am researching Isaac John Wardle History. He was a Mormon handcart pioneer.

Handcarts: DUP Pioneer Museum
The have three handcart at the DUP museum. I thought handcarts were sturdier and larger than those represented. I think the ones used for treks, and museums are larger; but these are handcarts used originally. I am not sure if any of the Martin Company survived--as all were left behind and the Saints entered the Valley in wagons. I know they were built to have the same wheel base as wagons, but it looking at them, and comparing them to wagons, the appeared skinny to me.
