The Vagabonds

This book tells the story of American icons Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, whose annual summer road trips helped popularize the automobile and shape modern American culture. Dubbed 'The Vagabonds,' these journeys, which included figures like Harvey Firestone, were not just leisure but also served to assess and improve the nation's nascent road infrastructure. The book explores this fascinating period in American history and the evolving relationship between the older Edison and the younger Ford.
