Add to SetSummary
In 1923, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and Harvey Firestone embarked on one of their famous camping trips, this time to northern Michigan. While the three men delighted in the outdoors, their accommodations weren't particularly rustic. A caravan of trucks, including the necessary staff, traveled with them, carrying food and supplies for elaborate meals that might include steak, chicken or freshly baked pie.
