• An unusually formal portrait of Ezra Meeker dressed in leather frontier clothing and holding an elaborate rifle. Meeker, an original traveler of the Oregon Trail, was probably best known for his tireless efforts to preserve and permanently mark its route. He made two journeys by ox team and wagon late in his life to raise monuments along the trail. Meeker nearly achieved his desire to live to be 100. He died 27 days before his 98th birthday.

• Near the end of his first wagon journey re-crossing the Oregon Trail, Washington pioneer Ezra Meeker drives his ox team through Manhattan before proceeding on to Washington D.C. to meet with President Teddy Roosevelt. Meeker traveled twice between 1906-1912 across the Old Oregon Trail, raising funds to preserve it and erect commemorative markers. He tried to generate as much public awareness and support for his cause as possible on these journeys, which probably explains his unnecessary and difficult passage through New York.

The parade represented developments in transportation methods, and included horses, bicycles, motorcycles, automobiles, dirigibles and airplanes.

Participation in parades like this and the Rose Bowl Parade provided him with publicity he sought to support his cause of preserving the Trail and erecting monuments for its pioneers.
