10th handcart company. It was the last handcart company to reach Utah. It was called the "Second Handcart Company" because it was the second of two handcart companies to cross the plains in 1860. 126 individuals, 22 handcarts, and 6 wagons were in the company when it began its journey from the outfitting post at Florence, Nebraska (now Omaha).
