Teddy Roosevelt Environmental Conservationism Part 2
In this episode there is more exploration of the presidential figure Theodore Roosevelt. The episode takes a look into environmental conservationism and the legacy that Teddy Roosevelt established under his presidency. Teddy Roosevelt although he might indirectly be credited for much of contemporary environmentalism is a great champion of the American legacy and also that of the cowboy spirits. I think His approach to the environment is worth study and dedication to more fully understanding cultural time periods and the political approach to the environment.

A Welcome Back With Exploration of Teddy Roosevelt
In this episode I talk about some of the time I have spent away from the podcast. Then I move into discussions about Theodore Roosevelt and his sentiment towards Native Americans before and during his presidency. Teddy Roosevelt is definitely a character in the American story that I greatly admire for a lot of reasons. With that in mind he is far from perfect with his sentiment towards Native Americans. Within the episode I explore the quotation “ The only good Indian is a dead Indian.” I tried to better understand some of the sentiment that Teddy Roosevelt had during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

CM Lewis and Clark Expedition Meriwhether Lewis: Discovery
In episode 19 we explore the value of discovery. Today's quotation is, "not all those who wander are lost." This was written in a letter by Gandolf the Grey, and is part of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Examining the Lewis and Clark expedition through the actions of Meriwether Lewis we find that discovery is important for American history. This discovery is similar to the practices of a cowboy maintaining land for his livestock. In both scenarios, The Lewis and Clark expedition and a cowboy, are discovering content and character that is read in the Lord of the Rings trilogy Makes for a persuasive argument that discovery is a worthwhile value.

CM Eli Harrell Interview
Hey everybody,
I am excited to introduce the first interview for the Cowboy Mantras Podcast. The interview is with a Philippines based Entrepreneur named Eli Harrell. The podcast episode was done with little preparation other than the cowboy concept in mind. There has been a little bit of editing, but the episode maintains the major focuses of the interview. I learned many things about Eli and his background, especially when thinking about cowboy values and mindsets.
Major take aways:
1) Go out into the world and just do it, it's safer than you think.
2) Personal growth is important. We can always change our understandings and lifestyles.

CM Last of the Dogmen, Louis Gates: Exploration
In episode 14 we explore the value of exploration. The quotation for today is, "We need the tonic of wilderness… At the same time we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature." This was said by Henry David Thoreau. Today's character is Louis Gates and he is from the film Last of the Dogmen. Louis Gates embodies exploration as a bounty Hunter, as a man reconciling the loss of his wife, and the search and expiration for Cheyenne living traditional life in the world setting of the Oxbow mountains in Montana.
