Teddy bears were named after our 26th President of the United States. Roosevelt went a hunt with a buch of hunters and they came to an old bear and followed it a great distance until it became tired. They tied the bear to an old tree and wanted the President to shoot it for the hunt to be successful. The President looked at the old bear and said no that he would not shoot it. The bear was in pain and suffering and ordered the bear to be put down. There was then a cartoon in the paper of a bear tied to a tree and Roosevelt refusing to shoot it. When this cartoon appeared in the newspapers Morris Michtom a shopkeeper took two toy bears and stuffed them with cotton and put them in his shop window and that is when the creation of the "teddy bear" began.
