The Handcart Family, by Torlief Knaphus (1926, life sized bronze), Temple Square, Salt Lake City. This statue on Temple Square commemorates the faith and sacrifice of 2,962 mormon pioneers who walked from Iowa and Nebraska to Utah, pushing and pulling handcarts loaded with their provisions and belongings. Courtesy Utah State University.

See it here at http://www.lightplanet.com/mormons/daily/history/1844_1877/handcart_eom.htm

I basically Googled images of "pioneer family pulling a hand cart" and it was the very first image that appeared.
