That was a remarkable incident. The missionaries were driven by some power greater than themselves. I especially admire the women who often had no choice in the matter but persevered anyway. Narcissa Whitman was the first love of Henry Spalding, the missionary who founded the Lapwai Mission near Lewiston. I refer to her in the following snippet from my text. The scenario is that Old Chief Joseph, the father of War Chief Joseph of the Nez Perces, had just torn up Spalding's translation in the Nez Perce language of the gospel of Mark. Spalding was beside himself with grief. “I tried so hard,” he sobbed. “First Narcissa, and now this. I failed. I failed.” The poor man tore at his hair with both hands, sobbing. The memory of his first love, Narcissa Prentiss, unrequited still. He retreated into his chapel, inconsolable.
