Teddy's Bear
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
When President Theodore Roosevelt went to Mississippi in November of 1902 to help settle that state's running border dispute with Louisiana, he took the opportunity to get in a little bear hunting. Shortly thereafter, a Russian immigrant struggled with what to name his new toy - until he read about Roosevelt's little hunting adventure. The rest, as they say, is history.
