Camping 2

Camping 2

In 1853 a boy sat in the back of a horse drawn wagon looking over the American Prairie land that stretched out into the horizon. This young boy was Thomas Hiram Holding and he travelled with about 300 others in a wagon train, covering 1200 miles. This was one of Holding's many outdoor adventures, but it was this experience that inspired him to write the first campers guide book ever written in 1908. This 1907 photograph was taken in Muskoka Lakes. MORE! [BM] {NR}
