SmartyPants, Did you know...that the name Teddy Bear was coined after him? It came about when he started the National Park Service and in appreciation some men drugged a bear and tied it up and invited him to shoot it. He refused...

Teddy sounded like an educated bet so I picked him.

Teddy had asthma when he was a boy. His father made him smoke cigars. Both his Mother and his Wife died on the same night. That's when he decided to head west to Montana and the Dakotas to live. Started a ranch and did a lot of hunting.

Looked this up on Library of Congress site; TR was the first to make a public appearance by car. The first to ride in a car was William McKinley.
