The Handcart Story Part 8: The Rescue of the Martin Company

November 2, 1856, the Martin Handcart Company with the help of rescuers reached Devil's Gate, Wyoming, and an old abandoned fort there called Fort Seminoe. However, they could not stay there; it was too exposed and cold. They had to find a place more sheltered from the elements - and that shelter, Martin's Cove, has become immortalized in Latter-day Saint history. This is the story of the rescue of the Martin Company.
