This is a series of articles available through the Church History website for the Martin Handcart Company
http://www.lds.org/churchhistory/library/pioneercompanysources/1,16272,4019-1-192,00.html
These articles show the commitment of the church to embrace its history, as it includes negative comments as well as positive. It has a new story based on an ex "Elder" saying the deaths prove Brigham Young was not a prophet. Another is a very graphic description of the handcart pioneers published in a New York newspaper. It also has the description from the Deseret News. There are also official publications from "The Mormon" church publication in New York. There is a powerful discourse from Brigham Young. There is one article I hoped would be available. This is the conference discourse of President Young that is quoted in the Hafen book.
Very useful series of articles
