>From the link below you can search Mormon Pioneer Overland Travel from
the years 1847-1868. Type in and search for Edward Bunker and two
entries will appear. The first is entry is when he came west in 1850 and
the second is when he lead the handcart pioneers west in 1856.

You can view a list of all the individuals in the company or the sources.
Several of the pioneer diaries are available to open or download online.
Edwards autobiography doesn't go into many details about the trip in
1856, but there are some other diaries available.
