What are 3 or more modes of transportation on the Mormon trail in 1846 through 1869?

Answer 1

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) used whatever forms of transportation were available to them. This included horseback, covered wagon, carriage, train, boat, and handcart. The handcart has become a symbol of the Mormon pioneers - a two-wheeled cart pulled by people on foot. It was a much cheaper way for the poor Mormons to travel across the Mormon Trail.

Answer 2

Modern Mormons use any type of transportation available - most often cars or bicycles, trains, airplanes, etc. Historically, Mormons also used what was available - generally horses, covered wagons, or handcarts. Mormon pioneers became exceptionally popular for their use of handcarts - small 2-wheeled wagons pulled by themselves rather than mules or oxen.

Answer 3

Historically, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (The "Mormon" church) travelled by horse, wagon, handcart, boat, or foot. In modern times, by car, train, motorcycle, bus, bike, foot, boat, plane, skateboard - however they want!

Answer 4

Some groups of Mormon pioneers became well known for their use of the 'handcart', which was like a large two-wheeled wooden wheelbarrow which they pulled themselves rather than purchasing teams of horses, oxen, or mules.

It is said that Brigham Young devised the handcart as a way to allow those who were too poor to afford wagons and teams to cross the plains to Utah. A popular summer activity for Mormon youth groups is to re-enact the journey of the handcart pioneers.
