This scene shows the handcart company moving across Iowa. The children sing "The Handcart Song." The pioneers actually sang this song along the journey. Many documented that the sang it the first day as the left Iowa City. This shows Langley getting sick and being compelled to ride in the handcart. Langley actually became sick before they arrived at Florence, Nebraska. It also shows the child birth of Sarah Ann Ashton, the second daughter born to William and Sarah Ashton with this name. Sarah Anne was actually born later, a day after they were leaving Florence. This is documented by Patience Loader, whose sister had a baby the same day. This would have been at Cutler's Park.
