Page 264: "Many missionaries performed multifaceted careers on the western frontier, but few detailed records of their medical efforts have survived. Meeker, for example, is better known for introducing the printing press to Kansas, transcribing Native American tracts, and publishing the 'Shawnee Sun' than he is for his medical skills."
