Summary "The Busy Life of Eighty-Five Years of Ezra Meeker" by Ezra Meeker is an autobiographical account written in the early 20th century. It explores the life experiences of the author, who was a pioneer in the Old Oregon Country, detailing his adventures moving across the plains with an ox team and the various challenges faced throughout his life. The book paints a vivid picture of pioneering life during the 19th century, offering readers insights into both personal and collective experiences of those who ventured westward. At the start of the narrative, Ezra Meeker recounts his early life in Ohio, the background of his family, and the simplicity and hardships of his upbringing. He shares anecdotes about his childhood, his disdain for school, and the industrious spirit instilled in him by his hardworking parents. The opening sets the stage for a life dedicated to pioneering efforts that would eventually lead him on a monumental journey across the American frontier. Through his reflections, Meeker introduces readers to the values of hard work, family ties, and the pioneering spirit that defined a generation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
