[Akron], [1921]. 4to. Original half black morocco over tan boards, stamped in gilt and with decorated cover label, lighty rubbed. With 77 sepia toned silver print photographs mounted on heavy stock letterpress leaves.
Commemorative diary of the camping trip undertaken by Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone, and John Burroughs in 1918 through Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland. Firestone prepared this record and dedicated it to Burroughs, who wrote the text but died in 1922 as the book was being prepared. A lost world of playful plutocratic pleasures.
