The Price We Paid- Author Andrew Olsen not only presents the stories of the Willie and Martin handcart companies, but he presents the background information and historical situations allowing us to understand why the handcarts were necessary, and what factors lead up to the problems with the Willie and Martin companies specifically. An online reviewer writes the following “I was captivated by The Price We Paid which is well-researched and masterfully-told. It clarifies biographies, journals and fictional accounts, recalling countless triumphs and tragedies attending the Handcart Pioneers, their missionary leaders, manner of organization, and ultimate rescue. Its story of faith and footsteps is a window to the past - not just through the telling, but through tell-tale, first-person accounts of individual thought, faith, desires and deprivations.”
