About
Join Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone, and John Burroughs on their pioneering camping trips in this energetic and entertaining nonfiction picture book adventure.
After years of inventing things that other people needed, Thomas Edison and Henry Ford realized there was something they needed--a vacation! So, the famous inventors packed up Ford's Model T and invited their good friends Harvey Firestone and John Burroughs to join them as "the Four Vagabonds" hit America's back roads to enjoy America's natural beauty, fireside chats, and frolicking fun with friends--all while inspiring future generations to invent camping adventures of their own. A former elementary school teacher, Claudia Friddell loves talking to students and teachers about the magic of bringing history to life through books. When she's not visiting schools, digging for treasure in the library, or writing at her home in Baltimore, she's reading, walking, and kayaking on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Visit claudiafriddell.com.
