Scope and content
- Washington pioneer Ezra Meeker and his ox-driven covered wagon are shown heading a transportation parade at the Dominguez Air Meet, held on the Dominguez Ranch near Los Angeles. The parade represented developments in transportation methods, and included horses, bicycles, motorcycles, automobiles, dirigibles and airplanes. Meeker spent some time in California between his two cross-country wagon journeys along the Old Oregon Trail. 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.
