We're up in the air here and welcome to another edition of the Art of Manliness podcast.

So if you've been following the Art of Manliness for a while, you know we're big fans of

Theodore Roosevelt around here.

The guy crammed a lot into a lifetime.

There's a new biography out about him that takes a look at his life as a natural historian,

conservationist, hunter, and it uses TR's actual field notes that he took out in the field

as the primary source to write this biography.

It's called Theodore Roosevelt in the field.

Today on the show, the author Michael Canfield and I discuss what we can learn about Teddy

Roosevelt's approach to life from his field notes that he meticulously began as a boy.

He started this when he was like eight or nine years old and he continued throughout

his even throughout his presidency.

We also talk about how his field notes that he took helped sharpen his keen sense of observation

and how that helped him during his presidency and his political life.

And then finally Michael and I discuss what life lessons men can take from the field notes

of the Bull Moons himself, Theodore Roosevelt.

Really interesting show.

Be sure to check the show notes out after you listen because you can actually see actual

scanned images of Teddy Roosevelt's field notes as well as links to resources mentioned

in the show.
