History of Teddy Bear

I am interested about Teddy Bear but I don't know anything about the Teddy Bear history. So, I search about the story of Teddy Bear in website Google and it makes I know the information about the Teddy Bear. After I read it finishes, I want to share it to you. So, the name of the Teddy Bear comes from former United States President Theodore Roosevelt whose nickname is Teddy. In November 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt was helping settle a border dispute between Missisippi and Louisaina. During his spare time in Mississippi, he attended to hunt a bear. Roosevelt was invited by Governor Andrew H.Longino. Hunting was so poor that someone could capture a baby bear and he invited President Theodore Roosevelt to kill a bear but Roosevelt refused to do it. Then, it came to be a big topic that Clifford Barrymore drawn a political cartoon picture name's Drawing the line in Mississippi in The Washington Post on November 16,1902.
