Camping with Henry and Tom: Author's Notes
     

The play is a fiction suggested by facts.  That President Harding went camping with Henry Ford and Thomas Edison is fact; their evening "escape" from the media-packed campsite is fictional.  

Conversations are fictional, but based on events, documented personal philosophies and the political climate of the time.  Though many remarks are adapted from the actual words of these three men, there is no proof that such a dialogue took place.  

What is indisputable is that Warren G Harding is a man who never wanted to be President, Henry Ford is a man who did, and after many annual expeditions, this was Thomas Edison's last camping trip with Henry Ford.
