• Oregon Trail advocate Ezra Meeker resting beside his wagon, along with his ox team and dog Jim. Barely visible on the side of the wagon is a map of the Oregon Trail. Present but unseen in this photo is Meeker's driver, William Mardon. Twist died on the trail in Nebraska on August 9, 1906, and Meeker eulogized that "he was a noble animal...the best ox I ever saw." Dave would live to travel the Oregon Trail again in 1910-1912, and was later stuffed and put on display in the Washington State History Museum.
• Printed on front: Nooning.

Printed on back: This illustration is a snapshot taken without posing on an occasion of a noon-day rest in Oregon. Frequently this "noon spell" would be extended long after the mid afternoon hour had passed and afforded the best opportunity of writing my journal, the foundation of my book. When when we did make a start to travel towards the cool of the evening often dusk would overtake us before camp could be made. The oxen, Twist and Dave, look the picture of content and health and gained in weight as I moved out on The Plains until Twist sickened one morning and died before night.

Printed on back: Broke camp January 29th, 1906; drove north past the towns of Sumner, Auburn and Kent to Seattle, 30 miles, through the valleys of the Puyallup, Stuck and White rivers, first famous for hops, and now for dairy, fruit and vegetable productions. Puyallup, once a famous center of the export hop trade, nine miles from Tacoma, Wash.; founded by Ezra Meeker, 1877. Pioneer Park, Pioneer Avenue and Pioneer Place dedicated in honor of pioneers upon founding town, now city of 4,000 inhabitants; on line of Northern Pacific railroad.

From 1906-1908 and again in 1910-1912, Meeker made cross-country journeys to raise markers along the way commemorating the Oregon Trail's original emigrants. A portrait of bespectacled and white-bearded Meeker is in the center of these four images.

This 3-story school in Auburn, Washington- a city south of Seattle- was constructed in 1903 and housed 12 classrooms, with the high school classes located on the top floor. In 1910, a new school was built for the high school, and the Aurburn Central School then became entirely a grade school.

• 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.

• Portrait of the ox team used by Ezra Meeker for his first covered wagon trip recrossing the Old Oregon Trail to raise monuments commemorating its pioneers. Meeker made these trips from 1906-1908, and from 1910-1912. Twist died along the trail in Nebraska, and was replaced by an ox named Dandy. After surviving the second cross country trip, Dave and Dandy were later slaughtered, stuffed, and placed on exhibit with Meeker's wagon in the Washington State History Museum. Of Twist, Meeker said, "he was the best ox I ever saw." Of Dave: "Vicious. Kicked. Hooked. Fought to a finish. A shark.".

Classic cars from the 40's and 50's line the streets in front of Seattle's reknowned Ivar's Acres of Clams Restaurant and Fish Bar. Ivar Haglund, "Flounder" of Ivar's, built Seattle's first aquarium, accompanied by a fish bar, on Pier 54 in 1938. In 1946, he expanded the bar into a full restaurant, and eventually established a regional chain of Ivar's Restaurants. The original eatery on Seattle's downtown waterfront still operates today in a modified structure. Haglund's famous motto was to "Keep Clam".
