Ezra Meeker Arrives in Damp Portland to Camp Near Park
Ezra Meeker arrives by the Baller Gatzert from Portland with wagon and camping outfit as The Dalles Chronicle notes.

He plans to buy a yoke of cows to pull the prairie schooner and supply milk for his party, recalling his 1852 stop when he left his wagon and mapped the old trail.
