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. These Vagabonds enjoyed camping, hiking, sightseeing and just being in each other's company. This photo taken during their 1919 trip to the Adirondacks and New England shows Ford and Burroughs picking raspberries -- perhaps for the evening's dessert.
