Ox-Team Days on the Oregon Trail

"Ox-Team Days on the Oregon Trail" by Ezra Meeker and Howard R. Driggs recounts the compelling story of one pioneer's journey west and his later revisit to the landmark path. The book highlights the experiences of American settlers as they travel on the Oregon Trail seeking available opportunities, including the author’s voyage as a young man with his wife and child. Years later, this seasoned pioneer and Washington State resident retraces that same path, marking the trail again for posterity by recalling the historical relevance of the route and his earlier arduous trek from Iowa to Oregon that spanned two years.
