 * Keep He led a handcart company, in fact the first handcart company, this was a major innovation in trans-continental transportation on an organized scale. This might not justify the article as it is, but being head of the first handcart company seems to qualify as notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:18, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

 Thanks John Pack Lambert. A question about the article "as it is" in terms of justification. What would make sense in terms of further documenting, interest. For example, the "ferry" built on the North Platte was the first one in that area, I can probably find more information but that seems like fluffing this article up vs. just "telling the story". Thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ellsworthpc (talk • contribs) 20:08, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
