Old-style handcarts at the Martin's Cove Mormon Handcart historic site in Sweetwater County, Wyoming. The site -- on the old Mormon and Oregon trails (and the California Trail and Pony Express route as well, which all followed similar routes before diverging in what is now western Wyoming -- recalls the Mormons' westward migration after they were forced from their village in Illinois. Many Mormon emigrants pulled their families and/or possessions in crude handcarts on the arduous journey. These carts are used for school-group tours, when youngsters are invited to pull their classmates around the grounds. Photo by Carol Highsmith, 2016.
