The history of Ezra Meeker published by the Puyallup Historical Society at Meeker Mansion and Wikipedia editor Gary Greenbaum, is a history that is nothing short of false, inaccurate, and misleading.
In March 1889 Ezra Meeker committed one of his biggest blunders ever, he was caught and admitted to bribing Puyallup Indians with money for their vote to approve a right of way through the Puyallup Indian Reservation.
