Bears’ historical background

“Teddy” Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, is the inspiration behind the name of the plush toy. Several assistants and dogs accompanied the former president on a bear-hunting excursion in the Mississippi town of Onward in 1902. The untamed animal was tied to a willow tree after the hunting dogs were able to track down and corner a black bear. Roosevelt declined the offer to shoot the hurt bear, claiming it would be “unsportsmanlike”.

The story caught the attention of a cartoonist who decided to add a satirical touch, and it was widely disseminated by the press at the time. Morris Mitchom, the owner of a toy store in New York, and his wife Rose were inspired by the political cartoon after it was published in newspapers. Teddy’s Bear is the name given by the couple to the stuffed animal they had made.

Significance

Giving someone a teddy bear can make them smile right away. Teddy bears have evolved from being soft toys into a universally recognized symbol of love. Lovers embellish the stuffed animal with hearts or add a personal message on Teddy Day. Thus, don’t be afraid to give that special someone a teddy bear if you want to leave a lasting impression this Valentine’s Week.
