We interview Meg Cooper as she tells the story of Theodore Roosevelt and Holt Collier's infamous bear hunt in Rolling Fork, MS that led to the creation of the Teddy Bear. Theodore Roosevelt was a conservationist, starting the National Wildlife Refuge System back in 1903. The Breton Island National Wildlife Refuge in St. Bernard Parish is among 568 refuges in the U.S. Holt Collier was an infamous American Hunter, he lived an extraordinary and successful life while maintaining a friendship with Theodore after their first hunt. Every year in October, Rolling Fork hosts the Great Delta Bear Affair where they carve a new 12ft. wooden bear sculpture to add to their town's collection. Written by Charles Geno Marsala See less
