THF105482 / The "Vagabonds" with Family and Friends during a Camping Trip, 1920
01
Artifact Overview
Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone, and John Burroughs made yearly camping trips between 1916 and 1924. They called themselves the Vagabonds. In 1920 they traveled to New York's Catskill Mountains. This was the first outing to include wives. The trips became decidedly more formal and less adventurous when wives came along. And Edison himself confessed that the fun was gone.
