    The Teddy Bear was named in honor of President Theodore Roosevelt. One day, President Roosevelt went hunting in Mississippi with Governor Andrew H. Longino. They went to Onward, where a lot of hunters had been in search of bears. Everybody succeeded in locating bears, except Mr Roosevelt.

    Knowing this situation, Roosevelt's assistants tried to find a black bear and tied it to a willow tree. They called Roosevelt to the place and asked him to shoot the bear. However, Roosevelt knew that it was unfair and refused to shoot the bear. Instead, knowing that the bear was wounded, he ordered his assistants to untie it and take care of its wound. The news spread rapidly all over the country. Newspapers wrote about Roosevelt as a big game hunter.

    Clifford Berryman found the article about Roosevelt's refusal to shoot the bear. Then he created a cartoon of President Roosevelt and a bear in the Washington Post on November  16, 1902. The cartoon impressed Morris Michtom, a candy shop owner. Together with his wife, he created a toy bear. They dedicated the toy bear to President Roosevelt. They called the toy "Teddy's Bear." Teddy is a short form of Theodore.
