|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: In 1852, Ezra Meeker and his family came west by wagon over the Oregon Trail, eventually settling in the Puyallup Valley. As the years passed and cross-country travel became easier, Meeker worried that people wouldn't understand the hardships of the early settlers. Beginning at the age of 75, he made several trips across the Oregon Trail and urged its preservation. He supported his project by selling his books and photos.
This 1912 photo shows Ezra Meeker in downtown Seattle, on one of his many wagon trips promoting the Oregon Trail. On this particular trip, he is also promoting Woodrow Wilson for President. Why Meeker's ox wears moose antlers remains a mystery.
