Oct 29th, 2018: Vagabonds Roughing It

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 and camped in style.
Together they brought along numerous support staff including members of their household staffs.



Of course friends visited their camps along the way seeking advice, counsel, and/or support.
The likes of President Hoover, President Harding, and E.G.Kingsford the charcoal briquette king, among others.



The staff set up and took down camp ((including sleeping and dining tents), started fires, cooked, drove, took photographs, and
maintained the cars and equipment trucks. The caravan included a truck outfitted as a refrigerator and camp kitchen.
Electricity was provided by storage batteries that Edison supplied.
The group traveled to the Adirondacks and Green Mountains in 1916 but Ford was not able to join them.
The 1918 trip began in Pennsylvania and included West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland.
In 1919 they visited New York and New England.
They traveled to New York's Catskill Mountains and John Burroughs’ home in 1920.
The 1921 trip was to Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia.
In 1923, the group visited Northern Michigan including the lumber camps at Sidnaw and Iron Mountain.



The trip in 1924 did not include camping. The group stayed at the Wayside Inn in Massachusetts and made brief excursions to Vermont.
I wonder if they summoned the minions to MA, to Vermont excursion them?
