EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a remarkable man, Ezra Meeker. Born in 1830, Meeker was not only an American pioneer but also a renowned historian of the Oregon Trail. His contributions to preserving the history of this iconic trail are immeasurable. In this image taken on May 7,1927, we see Meeker standing alongside Farunn Parker. The contrast between these two figures is striking - Meeker with his long white beard and cane representing old age and wisdom, while Parker embodies youthfulness and vitality. This contrast symbolizes the passing of knowledge from one generation to another. The setting appears to be an early airplane exterior, hinting at Meeker's adventurous spirit even in his later years. It is fascinating to imagine him exploring new frontiers through aviation during a time when air travel was still in its infancy. Meeker's legacy extends beyond his pioneering spirit and historical expertise; he was also known as the "Hop King of the World". As a successful farmer, he played a significant role in promoting hop cultivation and establishing Washington State as a major producer. This print serves as both a tribute to Ezra Meeker's extraordinary life and accomplishments and an inspiration for future generations to continue pushing boundaries just like this influential American pioneer did during Westward Expansion.
