Teddy bear marks 100th year in Roosevelt’s memory
Tweed Roosevelt, great grandson of Theodore Roosevelt, attends a Teddy Bear Expo in Washington as the iconic toy reaches its centennial. The bear’s origin traces to a 1902 Mississippi hunt and a Washington Post cartoon, with Rose and Morris Michtom creating the first bears and Steiff supplying growing numbers for children worldwide.
