- Card bearing image of Ezra Meeker surrounded by his faithful dog Jim, wagon driver H. Mardon, oxen Dandy and Dave, and his original covered wagon. Washington pioneer Ezra Meeker came to the Pacific Northwest by wagon via the Oregon Trail in 1852. He made two trail re-crossings from 1906-1908 and 1910-1912 to raise markers along the way, commemorating the Oregon Trail's original emigrants. He sold a series of post cards to help fund the trips and raise the monuments.
