Warren G Harding Signed Rare Thank You Note

Starting in 1913-1914 a group of well known folks started taking caravan camping trips together. They ended up going across the country–year to year. They were in places like the Everglades, the Smokies, and several different states.

In a few years they became known as the “Vagabonds.” The group included: Henry Ford, John Burroughts, Thomas Edison, and Harvey Firestone. In 1921 they invited President Harding to join the group. Surprisingly he agreed. The group’s wives were eager to join the group, and eventually included some of their children as well. The number peaked at 16 in 1921. The trip included many stops. In 1921 the trip included 7 wives, one bishop, the President, his secretary, cooks and assorted attendants.

This letter is a thank you note written to the owner of the camp where they resided for a portion of the trip (Royer). Measurements: Frame: 32 x 18 Document Window: 11 x 8.5
