This camping trip was one of many taken by the "Vagabonds", Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone and Thomas Edison between 1916 and 1924. President Warren G. Harding was invited on the trip to a Pectonville, MD camping site in July of 1921, which became known as "Camp Harding" and is now a county park in Washington County, Maryland.

This remastered version of this historical film includes all three parts, which have been adjusted for brightness/contrast, image stabilized, and generally cleaned up a bit. Music is included. The original silent version of this film is available from the National Archives, and is public domain.

Note that Part II was in very rough shape, and while it has been cleaned up, parts of that section are still very blurry.
