It is named after former US President Theodore 'Teddy'
Roosevelt
One day Mr. Roosevelt - the youngest US President - was on a
hunting trip in Mississippi that is on November 14, 1902. The assistant of a
Mr. Roosevelt , Holt Collier – a former slave , took a position at one of the
corner and tied a black bear with taking support to a willow tree. The
President's assistant, Holt Collier - a former slave, cornered and tied a black
bear to a willow tree. As a result Mr Roosevelt decided not to shoot him which
was looking like an unparticipating spirit.
First Illustrated By a Cartoonist for the Washington Post
The news of the US president of not shooting a black bear
was spread like a fire in a jungle. One of the political cartoonists, Clifford
Berryman, read an article and decided to draw a cartoon image which includes US
president, black bear and his assistant Holt Collier, and tried to portrait that
Mr. Roosevelt is refusing that he will not shoot that bear. The cartoon
appeared on the November 16, 1902, edition of The Washington Post newspaper.
First created by Morris Mitchom
Morris Mitchom and his wife Rose saw Berryman's cartoon and they
both decided to create a stuffed toy bear, commemorating the President. They
called it ‘’Teddy Bear’’. After
receiving Mr Roosevelt's permission, he mass produced the bears which became
very popular. They also eventually open a toy company. Children love teddy a lot
