Not a Barbie, a My Little Pony, a Star Wars' Action Figure or a Beanie Baby, but the best toy ever for a twentieth century child. How about a Teddy Bear! You know, like the ones inspired by that great bull moose, Theodore Roosevelt.What would a stuffed teddy bear see, if it survived through the twentieth century? What adventures would it have. What experiences would the children, who embraced it, have? Let your mind wander through the end of the Gilded Age, the Progressive Era, the Great War, the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, World War II, the Red Scare, the Space Race, the Nixon Era, the Reagan Revolution and beyond.Such a bear would be around changes in music, fashion, literature, inventions, child rearing attitudes, medicine, tastes, habits, automobiles and all sorts of fads. Popular heroes and heroines would come and go. What about the seminal innovation of the twentieth century, the movies. The parade of flicks is astounding, as is the way you are exposed to the movie experience. Little bear, prepare yourself for a wild ride.

Book Description
The two most important names in teddy bear history, President Theodore Roosevelt and cartoonist Clifford Berryman, are brought to light through the wealth of Teddy Bear collectibles and mementos. Commemorate the 100th anniversary of the teddy bear when Berryman's little bear appeared in his political cartoon about the border dispute between Mississippi and Louisiana. From that time on, this delightful little creature has been indelibly associated with President Theodore Roosevelt, and has captured the hearts of people worldwide. This is the complete story about the strong association of President Roosevelt and Clifford Berryman. Illustrated with many of Berryman's best and least known cartoons, it also includes numerous colour photographs (except for the vintage photographs). In addition, the illustrations include other collectibles associated with both of these men and the little bruin that endeared itself to the world. Illustrated with 250 photographs and illustrations, this important contribution to the history of the Teddy Bear and their collectibles is certain to be numbered among the few books on this subject.

Book Description
America's first Green president, Theodore Roosevelt's credentials as both naturalist and writer are as impressive as they are deep, emblematic of the twenty-sixth President's unprecedented breadth and energy. While Roosevelt authored policies that grew the public domain by a remarkable 230 million acres, he likewise penned over thirty-five books and an estimated 150,000 letters, many concerning the natural world. In between drafts both personal and political, scientific and sentimental, he quadrupled existing forest reserves while creating the nation's first fifty wildlife refuges and eighteen national monuments, among them the Grand Canyon, and five national parks, headlined by Yosemite. And Roosevelt was far more than a policy wonk and political do-gooder. John Muir, by his own admission, "fairly fell in love with him." John Burroughs wrote that Roosevelt "probably knew tenfold more natural history than all the presidents who preceded him." And the Smithsonian's Edmund Heller dubbed him the "foremost field naturalist of our time." In addition to creating more than 150,000 new acres of national forest, Roosevelt made a new vogue of sportsmanship, famously refusing to shoot a lame bear in Mississippi and inspiring, thereof, an American icon and ecological fetish all at once: the Teddy Bear. Indeed, Roosevelt's Green undertakings produced a truly living legacy-one whose everlasting qualities he took robust pleasure in. Naturalist William Finley once suggested to TR that the President's environmental prescience would serve as "one of the greatest memorials to [his] farsightedness," to which Roosevelt replied, "Bully. I had rather have it than a hundred stone monuments." In fact, Roosevelt would have both-a lasting reputation for environmental protection and timeless stone monuments at Mount Rushmore and elsewhere built to honor his dramatic public policy initiatives. This book will be a critical resource for all those in American history (particularly presidential history), environmental history, environmental studies, nature studies, place studies, Agrarian studies, conservation studies, fish and wildlife biology/management, and ecology.

Book Description
"Besides being one of our greatest presidents, Roosevelt stands alone as a conservationist, a visionary when it came to the protection and preservation of America's natural resources, and an author."--Library Journal There have been few hunters as daring, as powerful, and as articulate as our twenty-sixth president, Theodore Roosevelt. From his ranching years in the Dakota Territory to the famous African adventures, Roosevelt's tales are unparalleled stories of the hunt. The best of them are collected here. Of Roosevelt's many volumes of hunting and exploration, two reader favorites have always been Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail and African Game Trails, both excerpted here. During his ranching years, Roosevelt ranged far and wide, and his African trips were also famously bold. In all his expeditions, Roosevelt reveals in detail hunts that were incredible journeys of both pursuit and discovery, for wherever he went in the outdoors he assumed the dual roles of hunter and naturalist. The hunts range from upland birds and waterfowl to prized big game animals like elk, bear, and sheep amid lofty peaks. There are goat pursuits among ice-glazed mountain spires, and close encounters with grizzlies in the black timber. He survives lion charges and buffalo attacks, and stumbles on elephants.
