Geocache Description:


Teddy Bear

A teddy bear is a stuffed toy in the form of a bear

The definition for teddy bear is: A toy bear, usually covered with plush.

The term Teddy bear came from the nickname for President Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt.

Did you know that the Teddy Bear was invented in honor of President Theodore Roosevelt? It all began when Theodore Roosevelt was on a bear hunting trip near Onward, Mississippi on November 14, 1902. Mississippi's Governor Andrew H. Longino had invited him, but unlike other hunters in the group, Theodore had not located a single bear.

Roosevelt's assistants, led by Holt Collier, a born slave and former Confederate cavalryman, cornered, clubbed, and tied an American black bear to a willow tree after a long exhausting chase with hounds. They summoned Roosevelt and suggested that he shoot it. Viewing this as extremely unsportsmanlike, Roosevelt refused to shoot the bear himself but instructed that the bear be killed to put it out of its misery.

The news of this event spread quickly through newspaper articles across the country. The articles recounted the story of the president who refused to shoot a bear. However, it was not just any president, it was Theodore Roosevelt the big game hunter!
