The 12 other images are of various camp scenes (family members & guests, landscapes, campgrounds, etc...). THE CAMPING TRIPS. From the book: "There to Breathe The Beauty' by Norman Brauer: "This unlikely foursome (Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone, John Burroughs), in the decade between 1915 - 1924, variously enjoyed camping by streams, touring historic rural towns, and rubbing shoulders with presidents of the United States... Age failed them as a common bond; at the time of the first full-fledged outing by all four men, in 1918, Burroughs was 81; Edison was 71; Ford was 55; and Firestone was 50... it was Firestone who always provided for photographers - either professionals or a member of the crew - to keep a visual record of the doings..." (from the preface). SIZE. The average size of these images is approximately 5 x 7 inches each. CONDITION. Good to very good. SHIPPING. Please add $5.00 shipping U.S, $10.00 International.
