b.

army
c.
Caused by weather while with the
Martin Handcart company
d.
Caused by lack of nourishment in her
first few years in the valley
Yesterday’s answer:
D The amount of personal property that had to be left
behind
July, 1856, Iowa City, Martin Company, John Jaques Journal:
As only a very limited amount of baggage could be taken with the
handcarts, during the long stay on the Iowa City camping ground, there was a
general lightening of such things as could best be done without. Many things
were sold cheaply to residents of that vicinity, and many more things were left
on the camping ground for anybody to take or leave at his pleasure. I was
grievous to see the heaps of books and other articles thus left in the sun,
rain, and dust, representing a respectable amount of money spent therefor in
England, but thenceforth, a waste and dead loss to the proper owners.
