Service Crew for the "Vagabonds" Camping Trip, 1923

Between 1916 and 1924, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone and John Burroughs embarked on a series of camping trips. They called themselves the Vagabonds, but they camped in style. Numerous support staff set up and took down camp, cooked, took photographs, and maintained the cars and equipment trucks. This photograph shows part of the staff that accompanied the Vagabond's 1923 trip to northern Michigan.
