OUT in the state of Washington recently, a veteran of more than ninety years stepped into an a roplane with the mail pilot and flew from Seattle to Victoria in British Columbia, and back again. The aged pioneer took the trip with all the zest of youth and returned enthusiastic over the adventure. This youthful veteran was Ezra Meeker, of Oregon Trail fame, who throughout his long, courageous, useful life has ever kept in the vanguard of progress. Seventy years ago he became one of the trail-blazers of the Farther West. In 1852, with his young wife and child, he made the hazardous journey over plains and mountains all the way from Iowa to Oregon by ox team. Then, after fifty-four years of struggle in helping to develop the country beyond the Cascades, this undaunted pioneer decided to reblaze the almost lost Oregon Trail. An old "prairie schooner" was rebuilt, and a yoke of sturdy oxen was trained to make the trip. With one companion and a faithful dog, the veteran started out. It took nearly two years, but the ox-team journey from Washington, the state, to Washington, our national capital, was finally accomplished.

""Pioneer Reminiscences of Puget Sound: The Tragedy of Leschi"" is a historical account written by Ezra Meeker, an American pioneer who settled in the Puget Sound region of Washington state in the mid-1800s. The book focuses on the tragic story of Chief Leschi, a prominent leader of the Nisqually tribe who was accused of murder and subsequently executed by the territorial government in 1858. Meeker provides a firsthand account of the events leading up to Leschi's trial and execution, as well as his own personal experiences living among the Native American tribes of the region. The book offers a unique perspective on the early history of the Pacific Northwest, shedding light on the complex relationships between settlers and Native Americans during a tumultuous period of American expansion.
