Ezra Meeker

Ezra Manning Meeker (December 29, 1830 – December 3, 1928) was an American pioneer. He traveled the Oregon Trail by ox-drawn wagon as a young man, moving from Iowa to the Pacific Coast. Later in life he worked to remember the trail, rewalking the trail many times to recapture his childhood. Known as the "Hop King of the World," he was the first mayor of Puyallup, Washington.
