TRThursday: Roosevelt the Conservationist, not Environmentalist - Wolf & Iron

TRThursday: Roosevelt the Conservationist, not Environmentalist
I wish I had gained a love of history in my youth, because it changes how we view the history that is being written in our daily lives. It also provides a great deal of perspective on how easily history can be revised to suit the current-day influencers. One of the popular methods ...
TRThursday: Roosevelt’s Fiscal Retardation - Wolf & Iron

TRThursday: Roosevelt’s Fiscal Retardation
Teddy Roosevelt had many noble virtues which are to be emulated by men. Unfortunately, frugality, thrift, and common fiscal sense were not among them. I find that seeing the areas of weakness in our heroes helps us see those in ourselves. Also, it brings them down to earth. In many ways Theodore Roosevelt ...

TRThursday: Theodore Roosevelt Gets Fat…
My son, Harvey, did a report for school on Teddy Roosevelt and his influence over the course of history. In doing so he came across a photo of young Roosevelt that was hard to believe and which my wife, Summer, proclaimed, “He was hot!” (or something to that effect).
TRThursday: Master of Human Destinies am I! - Wolf & Iron

TRThursday: Master of Human Destinies am I!
If we were to tread along Theodore Roosevelt’s path to manliness we would see a trail blazed through the jungles of strength and forests of knowledge. One of the most appealing qualities of the Colonel, both then and now, was that he could relate to the man on horseback just as well as ...

TRThursday: Great Thoughts vs. Great Actions
This #TRThursday should be a challenge for all of us. Every man has opinions, but fewer of us are action oriented. We want to see change in the world but we don’t seek opportunities to make those changes happen. We would rather not be inconvenienced, leave it up to the professionals or the ...

TRThursday: The Glory of Work and the Joy of Living
“The man who learns to love hard work will enjoy all of life.” – Unknown This #TRThursday we will look at a passage from the Colonel’s autobiography where he reflects on his Badlands-Cowboy days. He writes the following in 1913, 55 years old, 4 years after leaving the office of the ...

TRThursday: Teddy’s Single-Stick Fighting in the White House
“No game was ever yet worth a rap, For a rational man to play, Into which no accident, no mishap, Could possibly find its way.” – Adam Lindsay Gordon, Australian Poet, 1833-1870 Shortly after taking the office of U.S. President, Roosevelt was nearly killed in a carriage ...
TRThursday: Get Action! Do things! Be Sane! - Wolf & Iron

TRThursday: Get Action! Do things! Be Sane!
Sometimes I read the things Theodore yelled at people and think, “I wish I had the guts to say that!” I may never get used to the kind of confidence he had in himself and his beliefs. The sort of conviction that moves him to say what ought to be said in the ...
TRThursday: Bill Sewall – Roosevelt’s Manly Mentor - Wolf & Iron

TRThursday: Bill Sewall – Roosevelt’s Manly Mentor
 “I could see not a single thing that wasn’t fine in Theodore, no qualities that I didn’t like. Some folks said that he was headstrong and aggressive, but I never found him so except when necessary; and I’ve always thought being headstrong and aggressive, on occasion, was a pretty good thing.” – Bill Sewall, The ...
TRThursday: That Time Teddy Stabbed a Cougar to Death - Wolf & Iron

TRThursday: That Time Teddy Stabbed a Cougar to Death
This #TRThursday article is a bit difficult for me to write, because each time I start a line my imagination goes haywire. As I’m sitting under the spring sun, typing, I see a young Theodore Roosevelt leaping from his horse, bowie in hand, gleaming in the sun, into a pack of mad dogs, snapping ...
TRThursday: Worth More than a College Education… - Wolf & Iron

TRThursday: Worth More than a College Education…
While much time is spent on Theodore Roosevelt the out-of-doors-man and President, his fervent beliefs as a Christian are often overlooked. Much of what guided his views of manhood came from what he believed God-fearing Christian men were both called to be and, with the help of God, able to become.

TRThursday: Cooler Than You and Me by Age 15!
Most accounts of Theodore Roosevelt’s life gloss over his early years. His battle and victory over his health issues are generally included, particularly asthma and cholera morbus (a bacterial attack on the bowels resulting in what one would expect), then jump into his Harvard boxing days and see our hero transformed into a fit, ...
