Between 1914 and 1924 a group of prominent American leaders and innovators (who dubbed themselves "the vagabonds") took annual camping trips and adventures around the country. The group included Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone, and John Burroughs. In 1921 they were joined by President Warren Harding at a campsite that became known as "Camp Harding" and Secret Service patrolled the woods surrounding the camp.
