		Despite the astonishing originality of his spelling, Meek was not an unintelligent man and was widely read among the classics of the day; his sense of humor and braggadocio made him outstanding and, being empty of vanity, endeared him to many, missionaries as well as less-refined characters.
		Meek became deeply involved in political affairs in the Territory, complicated by anti-Indian hysteria and complex cross-currents which he had neither the training nor the sophistication to handle, and with a change of administration was swept from office.
		Meek's children, of mixed ancestry, came afoul of the unreasonable anti-Indian emotionalism of the time and place, but Joe weathered it all, remaining himself to the end, a man of great potential and unusual accomplishment, and withal one of integrity, judgment, courage and great magnetism, a born leader.

		Meek resigned his membership in the Provisional Government Legislature, accepted the commission to Washington and made speedy arrangements for his departure.
		Then as soon as the hostiles were out of the way Meek proceeded to the wrecked Whitman station and decently re-interred the murdered victims of the massacre, the hasty burial by the Catholic Priest Brouillet not having been sufficient to protect the bodies of the slain from the ravages of the wolves.
		Thus it is seen that Meek's record-breaking dash across the continent in the dead of winter, and Benton's speech quoted are necessary incidents from the murder of the martyr missionary.
