Podcast #414: Theodore Roosevelt, Writer and Reader | The Art of Manliness
If you’ve been following The Art of Manliness for awhile, you know we’re big fans of Theodore Roosevelt. The man embodied the Strenuous Life. He was a rancher, a soldier, a hunter, a statesman, and a practitioner of boxing and judo. But what many people don’t know about Roosevelt was that he was also an accomplished man of letters. He wrote over forty books himself and read thousands of others over the course of his lifetime. And as my guests on the show point out, TR’s literary life was tightly interwoven with his mighty deeds.
Today on the show, historians (and husband and wife team) Thomas Bailey and Katherine Joslin discuss their book Theodore Roosevelt: A Literary Life. We discuss how Roosevelt began the writing habit as a 7-year-old boy and how he wrote one of America’s greatest mi...

Podcast #194: The Field Notes of Theodore Roosevelt | The Art of Manliness
If you’ve been following the Art of Manliness for a while, you know we’re big fans of Theodore Roosevelt. His life is a truly inexhaustible repository of interest and inspiration. Well, there’s a new biography out about him that talks about one of the lesser-explored sides of that life: Roosevelt as a journaler and diarist.
It’s called Theodore Roosevelt in the Field, and on today’s show author Michael Canfield and I discuss what we can learn about Roosevelt’s approach to life and his work as a natural historian, conservationist, hunter, and soldier from TR’s own field notes. We discuss how this note-taking habit honed Roosevelt’s keen sense of observation, and of course, the lessons that men can take from his adventurous life.

On the Genius of Teddy Roosevelt
How does looking at Theodore Roosevelt’s relationship with his favorite son, Quentin, help us understand Roosevelt’s genius?
Eric Burns, former NBC News and “Today” show correspondent, discusses insights from his new book, The Golden Lad, with Gail Saltz. Despite all of Roosevelt’s myriad accomplishments, the cause Roosevelt championed the hardest—America’s entry into WWI — was the one that divided and tormented him. Through the lens of his relationship with his son, we’ll gain deeper insights into the mind and motivations of one of America’s great geniuses.

If you’ve been following The Art of Manliness for awhile, you know we’re big fans of Theodore Roosevelt. The man embodied the Strenuous Life. He was a rancher, a soldier, a hunter, a statesman, and a practitioner of boxing and judo. But what many people don’t know about Roosevelt was that he was also an accomplished man of letters. He wrote over forty books himself and read thousands of others over the course of his lifetime. And as my guests on the show point out, TR’s literary life was tightly interwoven with his mighty deeds.
Today on the show, historians (and husband and wife team) Thomas Bailey and Katherine Joslin discuss their book Theodore Roosevelt: A Literary Life. We discuss how Roosevelt began the writing habit as a 7-year-old boy and how he wrote one of America’s greatest military histories when he was just 24 years old. We then discuss TR’s greatest literary successes, including The Rough Riders, The Winning of the West, and African Game Trails. Thomas and Katherine share how Roosevelt’s penchant for action influenced his writing and how his writing inspired him to take action, and how John Wayne and Western movies wouldn’t exist without TR’s literary work.
We then get into Roosevelt’s reading habits, including his opinion of compiling lists of must-read books.
You’re going to gain new insights about one of America’s larger-than-life characters listening to this show.

ABOUT THE JFK LIBRARY:
The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston is dedicated to the memory of our nation's 35th president and to all those who, through the art of politics and public service, seek a new and better world.
The library and museum’s building was designed by famed architect I.M. Pei, although at the time, Pei was early in his career and much less well-known than the more established and prolific architects Jacqueline Kennedy passed over when choosing him. The library was dedicated in 1979.
The museum’s extensive exhibits portray the life, leadership, and legacy of President Kennedy; convey his enthusiasm for politics and public service; and illustrate the nature of the office of the president.
The JFK Library and its 10 acres are situated at the end of the peninsula that also houses the University of Massachusetts in Boston. The site overlooks the sea that President Kennedy so loved, and visitors are treated to unobstructed 360-degree views of Boston, the city that launched Kennedy’s career. Abutting the library’s site is Boston Harbor, its surface punctuated with leisure and commuter boats, cruise ships, fishing vessels, transport barges, sea birds, and the historic Boston Harbor Islands.
Students and scholars can arrange library visits to research primary sources documenting mid-20th century politics, and the life and legacy of President Kennedy, his administration, and his family
Those unable to visit the library in person can take advantage of the massive archivist-led digitization project that’s made a significant portion of the library’s holdings available to anyone with curiosity and internet access.
