The first handcart company on the Mormon trail was the Edmund Ellsworth company in 1856. Their boat, the Enoch Train, left England on March 23. They arrived in Iowa City on May 12, built handcarts, gathered supplies, and left pulling their handcarts on June 9. They arrived in Salt Lake City on September 26. 13 of the original 274 people in the company died en route.
