Of the nearly 400,000 Oregon, California, and Utah pioneers who crossed the plains, no single disaster, including the Donner Party disaster, had more victims than the Willie and Martin Mormon handcart companies in 1856. For every disaster, we are inclined to ask who is to blame. Usually there are many factors coming together to cause any given disaster. If this disaster had one major factor, in my opinion, that factor was one small cow.
