Ezra Meeker's famous recollections of life in the American
wilderness are published here complete with the one hundred and
twenty original photographs and illustrations. In his memoir, Ezra
Meeker casts his mind back to his early years growing up in Indiana
during the 1830s and 1840s. He recalls setting off for Iowa and
Oregon along the long and winding Western trail; the Gold Rush,
which fueled migration to the farthest reaches of the continent, is
remembered with evocative clarity. Meeker recalls the lives and
characteristics of the Native American peoples, and the fellow
migrants he met on his travels. Meeker pens valuable descriptions
of the varied wilderness; the dusty plains, towering mountains,
dense forests and barren deserts of America are described with
moving vividness. Ox-Team Days on the Oregon Trail is therefore a
retrospective of the United States as it grew in size and influence
over almost a century, as well as a depiction of the nation's
beauty and vastness.
