Which Us president was named after Teady bear?

Answer 1

What, exactly, is a "Teady Bear"?

Answer 2

The Teddy Bear is said to be named after U.S. President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt. The story goes like this: President Roosevelt went on a bear hunt. He and his friends hunted for a few days, but they didn't capture any bears. Finally, the hunting guide and his hunting dogs found an old bear. They chased the bear until it was so tired that the dogs were able to catch up to it and attack it. The guide tied up the bear and called for the President to come shoot the bear so that he would not go home from his bear hunt empty handed. But the President felt sorry for the bear and would not shoot it. Instead, since the poor bear had been hurt in its fight with the dogs, the President ordered the other hunters to shoot it to put it out of its misery. Shortly after the hunting trip, a political cartoonist (a person who draws cartoons about events in the news) named Clifford Berryman heard about the President's hunting trip. He drew a cartoon showing President Roosevelt refusing to shoot the bear. The first time Mr. Berryman drew the cartoon, the bear looked about the same size as the hunter. But later on he drew the cartoon again, with the bear appearing much smaller than the hunter. The little bear was cute. Mr. Berryman drew many cartoons about Theodore Roosevelt and most of them showed the little bear somewhere. The bear became connected to President Theodore Roosevelt. When Morris and Rose Michtom, a couple who owned a toy store in New York, saw the cartoon, Mrs. Michtom made a toy bear, which she displayed it in the toy store window. The bear became a very popular toy. So, Mr. Michtom wrote a letter to President Roosevelt to ask for his permission to name the bear "Teddy," after the President's nickname.

Answer 3

Yes, indeed the name comes from the President, Theodore Roosevelt. However, a second claim is that Richard Steiff, the nephew of Margarete Steiff and an established German toy-maker, designed the first jointed bear and exhibited it at the 1903 Leipzig Fair. Some of these bears were sent to America and used to decorate the tables at a White House reception. When the President "Teddy" Roosevelt was asked what species of bear it was, someone suggested it was a new species called 'Teddy'!

Answer 4

The Teddy Bear was named for Theodore Roosevelt

Answer 5

You have it backwards. The teddybear was named after the President. There are two theories on this;

President Theodore Roosevelt, whose nickname was "Teddy", enjoyed big game-hunting. According to legend, the teddy bear received its birth at Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.

To cheer Theodore Roosevelt after an unsuccessful day of hunting, Hotel Colorado maids presented him with a stuffed bear pieced together with scraps of fine material. Later, when he did bag a bear, his daughter Alyson admired it saying, "I will call it Teddy." The term caught on.

According to another legend, the name is said to come from an incident on a bear-hunting trip in Mississippi in 1902, when Roosevelt's attendants found and caught an old injured bear. Roosevelt refused to kill the lassoed animal, calling it "unsportsmanlike", and "Teddy's Bear" was immediately publicized by political cartoonists, taking journalistic licence and changing it to a young cute bear. The first such cartoon appeared the following day, November 16: Clifford Berryman, an editorial cartoonist for the Washington Post, immortalized the incident as part of a front-page cartoon montage. Berryman pictured Roosevelt with his gun beside him with the butt resting on the ground and his back to the bear, gesturing his refusal to take the trophy shot.
