Patience Loader & Martin Handcart Co.
I am co-producing a feature film titled "The Long Walk of Patience Loader" and need to contact descendents of Patience Loader and descendents of the other Martin Handcart Company members.
We are scheduled to begin filming in Utah and Wyoming this July. The movie traces the arduous, 1,300 mile journey of the Edward Martin handcart company across the plains to Utah in the fall of 1856 after they arrived from Europe on the tall ships. Caught in an unseasonal blizzard, large numbers of the company of 500 people died of starvation or froze to death. Patience Loader survived and had four children.
We would love to hear from you if you are a direct descendent of the Martin handcart company members.
One hundred of these descendents will be randomly chosen to attend the movie's premiere in Salt Lake City in 2002.
Please contact Steve Stubbs at [email protected] or [email protected]
Thank you.
