In Idaho, the Daughters of the American Revolution, under the leadership of the writer, organized the "Fort Hall Monument Association," the object of which was to erect a monument on the site of the historic old 1834 Wyeth Fort Hall. This Idaho movement was developed by Ezra Meeker and others, into the Oregon Trail Memorial Association for which the Congress of the United States has authorized an issue of six million Memorial Coins. The plan asking Congress for this memorial coinage, originated with the Idaho Unit of this Association.

Proceeds from the sale of this Oregon Trail Memorial Coin will be used to erect monuments and memorials to the Oregon Trail. This coin is said by art critics, to be the most beautiful in United States coinage and a model for the future, being historic in design, instead of classic. It is the work of James Earl Fraser and his wife, Laura Gardin Fraser, being the first time in history that a man and his wife have jointly designed a government coin. It is interesting to note that both Fraser and Mrs. Fraser are western born.
