Street Scene, Terre Haute

On the Street, Terre Haute, Ind. 1910

This unused postcard has the following printed text...

Oregon Trail Monument Expedition Post Card
Published by Ezra Meeker, Seattle, Wash.
Made in U.S.A.
A-15587

This remarkable nice view, one of many hundreds taken, shows the fine details of the wagon better than usual, even to the linch pin.
If the reader will look closely; the famous hub [front wheel] that did service across the Plains 58 years ago is here seen set "sound as a dollar."

The bearded figure with the dog in the centre of this image is Ezra Meeker. In 1852, he travelled westward along the Oregon trail and in 1910, he made the 2,630 mile journey in reverse, from Washington State to Indiana. Along the way he urged people to erect the Oregon trail historical markers. Meeker made the trip along the Oregon Trail several times, by the time he made this trip he was 79 years old.
