Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone, and John
Burroughs took a series of camping trips together between 1915 and 1924. They called themselves the Four Vagabonds. In this film of the group, John Burroughs plants a tree; the group walks, dines, and relaxes at the campsite; and Henry Ford climbs a tree.

I wonder if my great great grandfather went on any of these outings. His name was Harry Mulford Jewett and I know he was friends with the Ford family. Wouldn't it be wild if he were in one of these movies?

Great vintage movie reels. Notice how they are wearing three piece suits while camping. Reminds me of the Wright Bros. clothing. That had to uncomfortable in the hot summer. How times have changed. Dan.
