Camping has been a nomadic lifestyle since the beginning of time, but recreational camping during modern times is relatively new, championed by the famous "Nessmuck" https://www.mountainhomemag.com/2016...186746/nessmuk
and when automobiles became affordable, the Vagabonds (Ford, Edison, Firestone and Burroughs)
https://www.thehenryford.org/collect...the-vagabonds/
as well as the likes of Fredrick Gunn,
https://connecticuthistory.org/readi...era-education/
the Rev. William H.H. Murray,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willia...arrison_Murray
and John Muir (do you really need a link? Of course you don't!)
The thing is, these fathers of the camping movement left plenty of documented accounts of their camping adventures behind and a few even wrote camping guidebooks.
I was wondering if any of us enjoyed perusing such classical camping literature?
