QuentinRoosevelt \"Quenty-Quee\" November 19, 1897- July 14, 1918
Quentin was the last born of the \"Roosevelt half-dozen.\" Co-leader of the \"white House Gang,\" there was no doubt Quentin knew how to have a good time. Quentin and his older brother, Archibald, where anything but awed by the White House. They explored every mysterious space from basement to attic, roller skated down the long halls, stilt-walked in the garden and in high-ceilinged rooms, slid down banisters and \"sledded\" down staircases on serving trays. Quentin was an insatiable reader and had a quick, playful mind. He enjoyed baseball and was the captain of his school team, the Force School Nine, known s \"The Invincibles\" because they were so hard to beat.
The bear is jointed and approximately 13\" tall & 8\" wide.
Interesting History About the Teddy Bear:
The creation of the teddy Bear was inspired by Theodore Roosevelt in the fall of 1902. Candy store owners - Morris and Rose Michtom - read in the newspaper how President Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear that had been captured and presented to him at the end of an otherwise unsuccessful bear hunt. From this article and a cartoon by Clifford Berryman, which illustrated the event, the Michtoms created a stuffed bear toy and called it \"Teddy\'s Bear.\" They sent the bear to President Roosevelt, asking permission to use his name. Permission was rather laughingly granted, as Theodore Roosevelt could not imagine how his name could contribute to the success of a toy bear. Nevertheless, \"Teddy\'s Bear\" is the forerunner of the teddy bear and has become a symbol of Teddy Roosevelt and a heart that never ages.
