In 1852, Ezra Meeker, his wife, and baby traveled along the Oregon Trail by ox-cart from Iowa to Oregon. In 1906, he reversed his steps and went back to Iowa. In 1915, he went by car, and, later, even flew over the trail in a plane. He spent most of his ninety-eight years promoting the Oregon Trail and founded the Oregon Trail Association. In 1922, he published Ox-Team Days on the Oregon Trail, an outstanding memoir of his many days along the trail.
