The "Vagabonds" during a Camping Trip, 1921
Add to SetSummary
Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Harvey Firestone, part of the self-proclaimed Vagabonds, are shown shaving and washing up during their 1921 camping trip. They are joined by Bishop William Anderson and President Harding. Newsmen and photographers documented and reported the Vagabonds' every move. It's hard to tell how many "informal" activities were staged for reporters.
