Scope and content
- Washington pioneer Ezra Meeker, wearing a skull cap and long coat, overseeing the work of blacksmiths shoeing his ox team. Although the front caption reads "1906", the "Old Oregon Trail 1852-1910" logo on back indicates this post card was part of a series issued during his second trip by covered wagon re-crossing the Old Oregon Trail. Meeker travelled from 1906-1908, then again from 1910-1912, by wagon across the country to heighten public awareness and raise commemorative markers for the trail's original emigrants.
- Printed on front: Shoeing the Oxen, 1906.
