Listen in as Clay & David discuss their summers, the commemorative quarter for Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and new projects — including the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and a new book about conservation. Animadversions on this episode broach subjects such as food, recording quality and bibliophilic materialism.
Learn more about the TRNP quarter on Bismarck, ND's KFYR TV or on usmint.gov, where you can find the image of the coin that appears in this week's episode artwork.
You can read about the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library on their website.
"I'm looking for research assistance! People send me honey, but they never send me research assistance."
— Clay S. Jenkinson
From the way he's talking in this 1776 Club broadcast, it sounds like Clay needs some help with his new book! He's been hard at word in the kitchen, up to his ears in honey, glazing ham, roasting carrots, sweetening tea... and now his hands are so sticky with honey that he can hardly turn a page without ruining his research materials! #justscholarlythings
Don't forget that you can contact us here or ask Jefferson a question at your convenience.
