Roosevelt was the inspiration for the creation of the “teddy bear.” Morris Michtom created a tiny soft bear cub and put it in the shop window with a sign "Teddy's bear," after sending a bear to Roosevelt and receiving permission to use his name. And as a driving force for the Progressive Era in the United States in the early 20th century, Theodore Roosevelt's face is depicted on Mount Rushmore, alongside those of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln.
