In the annals of history, a heartwarming tale unfolds in the year 1902 during one of President Theodore Roosevelt's hunting excursions. Legend has it that amidst the wilderness, Roosevelt's compassionate nature shone brightly when he spared the life of a helpless bear, refusing to take its captive existence. This touching act was immortalized by a poignant political cartoon, swiftly capturing the hearts of people nationwide and igniting a wildfire of admiration.
Moved by this stirring gesture, Morris Michtom, a visionary Russian immigrant residing in Brooklyn, crafted America's inaugural cuddly creation – the iconic teddy bear.
