Artifact Overview
Between 1916 and 1924, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone and naturalist John Burroughs embarked on a series of camping trips. They called themselves the Vagabonds, but they camped in style. These Vagabonds enjoyed retreating from the fast-paced world to explore nature and the pre-industrial countryside -- or just to relax and nap under a tree.
