Scope and content
- Washington pioneer Ezra Meeker's ox team steadily pull his covered wagon along the Old Oregon Trail, past a group of curious onlookers. This photo was probably taken near the end of the first of Meeker's commemorative re-crossings of the trail, from 1906-1908, and then again from 1910-1912. The trips were undertaken to preserve the trail and raise monuments to its original pioneers. A banner on the side of the wagon, barely legible in the photo, appears to mark his progress on the journey.
- Printed on front: Way down in Old Missouri.
