Yesterday’s
answer:
D. Dressed in extra clothes
The
following is in reference to the weight each person was allotted to load into
the handcarts: Each person was allowed seventeen pounds of baggage, which
included bedding, extra clothing, and cooking utensils. A member of the first
handcart company of 1856, Mary Ann Jones, wrote: “Some wanted to take more than
the allotted portion and put on extra clothes; thus many who were real thin
became suddenly stout and as soon as the weighing was over, put their extra
clothes back on the handcarts. But that did not last long. In a few days we had
to have all weighed again and many were found with much more weight on the
carts than allowed. One old sister carried a teapot and colander on her apron
string all the way to Salt Lake. Another carried a hat box full of things, but
she died on the way.”
