From 1905 for about the next twenty years,Seymour Eaton\'s anthropomorphised bearswere the subject of some of the most popular children’s books in America. Their topical popularity was due to the tie-in between the bears andTeddy Rooseveltduring the 1900s when TR was President of the U.S., and the 1910s when there was widespread speculation whether he would try to run for a third term.

Eaton died in 1916 and Roosevelt died just two months after World War I ended. The publisher tried to keep the series alive with reprints in 1921, but by the 1920s American pop culture had moved on, and TR and the Roosevelt Bears became quickly passé.

A vintage childrens classic.
