Book Description
"Daddy, Daddy!" cried little Megan as she sat gripping the seat of the small aluminum boat. Henry had tried to ignore her. He was irritated that the outboard motor had quit in the middle of the lake, and he was now forced to row back to shore. "What?" he snapped, now closer to shore. "Daddy," Megan said with a tear rolling down her little cheek. "You are going the wrong way." Henry looked at the shore behind him. He saw Belle and three little girls waving at him. "Thank you," he mumbled to Megan as he turned the boat around. He knew that his error would bring laughter to his friends, and he smiled as he thought of a way to embellish the story. Henry Rimmer considered himself an average guy, "no better and no worse than anyone else." But misadventures seemed to find him more than the average person. Whether it was love, family life, or fishing and camping, his friends knew something would go wrong. Henry would struggle to find solutions, sometimes breathing a prayer for help; but once he resolved the problem, he would laugh and embellish the story as he relayed it to friends.

Book Description
A “fascinating slice of rarely considered American history” (Booklist)—the story of Henry Ford and Thomas Edison—whose annual summer sojourns introduced the road trip to our culture and made the automobile an essential part of modern life. In 1914 Henry Ford and naturalist John Burroughs visited Thomas Edison in Florida and toured the Everglades. The following year Ford, Edison, and tire maker Harvey Firestone joined together on a summer camping trip and decided to call themselves the Vagabonds. They would continue their summer road trips until 1925, when they announced that their fame made it too difficult for them to carry on. Although the Vagabonds traveled with an entourage of chefs, butlers, and others, this elite fraternity also had a serious purpose: to examine the conditions of America’s roadways and improve the practicality of automobile travel. Cars were unreliable and the roads were even worse. But newspaper coverage of these trips was extensive, and as cars and roads improved, the summer trip by automobile soon became a desired element of American life. The Vagabonds is “a portrait of America’s burgeoning love affair with the automobile” (NPR) but it also sheds light on the important relationship between the older Edison and the younger Ford, who once worked for the famous inventor. The road trips made the automobile ubiquitous and magnified Ford’s reputation, even as Edison’s diminished. The automobile would transform the American landscape, the American economy, and the American way of life and Guinn brings this seminal moment in history to vivid life.
