Ezra Meeker crossed the plains with an ox team in 1852 and spent the next sixty years in the old Oregon country. His autobiography moves from an Ohio and Indiana boyhood through the cholera years on the trail, a cruise on Puget Sound, the Naches Pass, hop farming and the Fraser River gold rush to the Chilkoot Pass and the Yukon in 1898.
First-hand pioneer history from the man who later retraced the Oregon Trail by ox-wagon to save its memory. Download the free EPUB.
