Hello and Good Morning Friends!

Not trying to sell you anything today, but Dad put out a really fun Sunday read today, and I thought you might enjoy it.

Some great stuff by the man himself Teddy R.

If you want to get on his list, check out Herdwear.net There are also a few of T.R's books on his site... excellent reading

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Gonna go do some chores now

It's been right at 4 weeks since I sent the first "Sunday Read". So, here's another for a quiet Sunday morning with something I hope you find entertaining and educational.

The article is by

Teddy Roosevelt. The art by

Frederic Remington. It is from an 1889 magazine - Vol XVII .... but somehow I cannot be absolutely certain which. While Roosevelt wrote a bunch for Harper's ... the volume and date do not match. It may well have been Century Magazine as their "New Edition Vol. XVII was an 1889 publication.

And thank you to

both of you good folk

who showed me "easier" ways to put this back together as a book. The issue is still Shopify's email platform.

We're working on that ... as well as a way to capture the AI generated "Podcasts" Adobe now can generate from printed pages. These are both fascinating and scary in how a computer can put human voices into "discussing" ... not just reading, printed text. If you have Adobe, just try one for yourself ... use any PDF article and look for the "Create a Podcast" button.

I want to offer you both the original for relaxed reading and the Podcasts ... the two I have done with Adobe were both very good - for those of you who want to experience an AI version. Hopefully soon. In the meantime, enjoy this read - it is a favorite of mine.

Want more of T.R.'s writings?

"Hunting Trips of a Ranchman""Outdoor Pastimes""The Works of TR"Roosevelt seemingly liked wearing gloves .... of several kinds,

This is NOT an AI generated picture ... Roosevelt was said to be quite the boxer ... really; no joke. I only show this as a lead in to what comes next .......

Apparently Teddy even wrote with his gloves on. Gloves were important back then ... and still are today. We only get one pair of hands.

That said, I got an email from

Midwest Glove

last week. They had a quantity ... not a big one ... of a very nice medium duty work glove. Not bison ... but with that great

Sewn in the USA label on them. We got what we could.

Large and XL

only. Large fits me very nicely. Pig skin is a tough, lightweight leather. Specially priced while they last ... and it won't be long! Stock up and save.

TR might well have liked these gloves .... but I doubt we will ever know for sure. You and your hands, on the other "hand", can well benefit from this deal.

OK, no more today. Hope you enjoyed the read .... and if not ... and you want off this readers list, just email me - Cecil@HerdWear.net and I'll not send any more. I will try not to use these mailings for products ... only to share my collection of great historic articles and stories.

We will shortly have an "opt in" link for these Sunday reads if you do want to continue. I want to create a separate mailing list so as not to bother folks if they already get too many unwanted emails.

In the meantime, my best wishes to all of you.
