Hunt, F. W.1914
The Henry Ford
Dearborn, MI, United States
John Burroughs (1837-1921) was an internationally known naturalist and writer. His writings appealed to Henry Ford, who invited Burroughs in 1914 to join him and Thomas Edison to explore the Florida Everglades together. This led to the more famous Vagabond camping trips of a few years later, which also involved Harvey Firestone.
