    Sure glad they cancelled Radio Live so we can get another two hours of Steve talking about the price of walrus mucus in 1871. Love these guys, read all their books but there’s only so much dry content onr can consume without a change up.

    Great podcast love the TR life story. The ironic twist is putting the TR presidential library in North Dakota where their politicians are the antithesis of the great Theodore Roosevelt.

  • Bear Grease

    Regarding Clay’s references to historical use of bear oil-I’ve read accounts of the French Canadian voyageurs using a mixture of skunk oil and bear grease to ward off mosquitos. Sounds like a nasty concoction. Wondered if you’ve heard that.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 861: The Defeat of Coronado
Q: What role did Fray Marcos play in initiating the northern push, and how credible were his reports?
Fray Marcos acted as a spiritual and reconnaissance figure whose reports about the cities of gold sparked the expedition, but his credibility is debated; some accounts suggest he exaggerated to serve the mission and the Church's goals, while others regard his reports as a mix of observation and interpretation shaped by religious zeal.
Ep. 861: The Defeat of Coronado
Q: What drew Coronado's expedition so far north despite the known difficulties and risks?
The combination of rumors of seven wealthy cities, the promise of fertile lands, and a mission to convert and civilize in line with royal orders drew the expedition northward, even as practical supply problems and resistance from indigenous peoples mounted.
