Pioneers Geary Crew Moved 150 Miles by Wheelbarrow Trek
Montana pioneer Michael L Geary and two companions crossed the Rockies from Alder to Emigrant gulch using a wheelbarrow for transport after buying it for 30 dollars. They swapped pullers and a steered barrow to reach diggings, then retraced the route back. The journey illustrates frontier mobility and stampede culture of the 1860s.
