TRThursday: Play Your Part, Manfully! - Wolf & Iron

Mar 5, 2015

TRThursday: Play Your Part, Manfully!
There is a lot of cynicism in today’s culture and media. Cynicism is different from sarcasm, for sarcasm is a play on truth and leaves the door open for humor or a way out, but cynicism is merely hopeless. Growing up, Ronald Regan was my president, and the message from him was almost ...
The American Rustics - Wolf & Iron

Mar 2, 2015

The American Rustics
As I believe I have mentioned before, I am working on a book on various men of history titled something along the lines of “# Men of History: And the Character Every Man Should Cultivate.” The # will be the actual number of men in the book (originally it was going to be ...
TRThursday: The Power to Strive and Fight and Conquer! - Wolf & Iron

Feb 19, 2015

TRThursday: The Power to Strive and Fight and Conquer!
The word ‘Manly’ was one of Roosevelt’s favorite terms. In his day the term was associated less with machismo and more with true manliness. Yet even by the late 1800’s, Roosevelt began to see a softness forming in the American Spirit. The move from the hard-working, rural lifestyle to the comfort of the ...
Men! Burn Your Ships! - Wolf & Iron

Feb 16, 2015

Men! Burn Your Ships!
In a sermon this last Sunday (2/15/2015) one of our pastors mentioned Cortés’ famous “burning of his ships” during his conquest of the Aztecs around 1519. For Cortés this was done to prevent a growing mutiny and is often used as an analogy for cutting off all forms of retreat, forcing ourselves to dedicate 100% ...
Book Review: The Heroic Path: In Search of the Masculine Heart by John Sowers - Wolf & Iron

Feb 3, 2015

Book Review: The Heroic Path: In Search of the Masculine Heart by John Sowers
John Sowers’ book, The Heroic Path: In Search of the Masculine Heart, had been on my radar for some time before I read it. I felt like I was playing this sort of game, you know, save the best for last. I could tell right away it was going to be good and ...
Theodore Roosevelt: The Man and the Crowd - Wolf & Iron

Theodore Roosevelt: The Man and the Crowd
I have been reading The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt the last few weeks — well, rather, listening to it on Audible. I am about 3/4 of the way through the book and the thing that continues to strike me is how people describe Roosevelt when meeting him for the first time. I don’t know ...
“Go To It!” – The Call Men Long to Hear - Wolf & Iron

Jan 12, 2015

“Go To It!” – The Call Men Long to Hear
White Fang knew what he was good at. His master knew as well. Maybe we men get the call to ‘Go to it’ before we know what we are good at, but I have a feeling that we don’t; we long to hear it, and it comes at our time.

Routine Will Kill You
“The less routine, the more life.” – Amos Bronson Alcott, American Teacher, Writer, Philosopher, and Father of Louisa May Alcott, 1799-1888 This article was inspired by a story a friend relayed to me. It wasn’t told with the intent of imparting a moral lesson, rather, something of a humorous and “Can ...

The Menaissance: A Movement or Marketing?
The following article is a guest post from Christopher Preston. Read the author's bio below. Back when I was in college, if you walked into a coffee shop like Stoney Creek Roasters (the hub of the hipster subculture), you could infallibly forecast what every male barista would be wearing: 1) skinny ...

“I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.” – George Washington, U.S. General and President, 1732-1799 I have been writing for Wolf and Iron for a while now, working on a book, ...

“All great change in America begins at the dinner table.” – President Ronald Reagan, 1911-2004 Election season is upon us, and while it isn’t a presidential year, it’s still a good idea to begin thinking about the qualities and characteristics for the next president.
