Ned Eddins John Jacob Astor and his Pacific Fur Company had a profound effect on America’s westward expansion over the Oregon Trail. The accomplishments of the Astorians led to the realization of Manifest Destiny for several hundred thousand American pioneers that traveled the Mormon Trail to Utah, the California Trail to the gold fields, and the Oregon Trail to the Oregon Country Many historians write that Astor's attempt to establish a trading empire on the Pacific Coast was a dismal failure . In one sense it was, but look at what the Pacific Fur Company and the Astorians accomplished. Within in a two year period, the Astorians established trading posts on the Columbia, Willamette, Okanogan, Spokane, and Snake rivers, and another Astorian, Robert Stuart traveled over South Pass on most of what would become the Oregon Trail.

E-mail this Print this Advanced search Home ... Titanic > Ice So Funny Ice So Funny Claim: Multi-millionaire passenger John Jacob Astor made an archly humorous quip when the Titanic struck an iceberg. Status: False. Example: [Eaton, 1987] Another legend attributed to [John Jacob] Astor tells how, standing at the bar after the [Titanic's] collision [with an iceberg], he said, "I asked for ice, but this is ridiculous." Origins: The most famous of the all people aboard the Titanic for her one and only voyage was unquestionably John Jacob Astor, the multimillionaire heir of a vast fur trading and real estate fortune who owned some of the world's most expensive properties (including New York's Astoria Hotel) and once reportedly quipped that "a man who has a million dollars is almost as well off as if he were wealthy." As Walter Lord noted of Astor's fame in A Night to Remember After [the Titanic ] sank, the New York American broke the news on April 16 with a lead devoted almost entirely to John Jacob Astor; at the end it mentioned that 1800 others were also lost. Besides bon mot , but this legend is unlikely as a true anecdote. No survivor reported actually having heard Astor say this, and the millionaire wasn't on deck or in one of the ship's lounges when the

Wandering Lizard An online magazine with information related to attractions, lodging, dining, and travel resources in selected areas of the Western United States Biographical Notes John Jacob Astor The Astor family had its origins in the Lake Como area of northern Italy. Family tradition holds that a distant ancestor was a Spanish knight who was killed in Jerusalem during the Fourth Crusade. Dislodged by religious conflict in the seventeenth century, Astor's Protestant ancestors fled to Heidelberg. At the end of that century, they were forced to flee again when Louis XIV's troops razed the town. This time they settled in Zurich, Switzerland. In the eighteenth century the family moved first to Nussloch in Baden and then to Walldorf near Heidelberg. On July 17, 1763, Johaan Jakob Astor was born, the son of Felix and Susannah Astor. Johaan's father was the town butcher. He married three times and was widowed twice. Each of his wives had children. The various siblings did not get along well and none of the children were particularly close to their father. Johaan benefited from good schooling in Walldorf, but had no desire to follow in his father's footsteps as the town butcher. In about 1774, Johaan's older brother, George, moved to London and went to work making musical instruments. In 1775, another older brother, Heinrich, joined the army in Frankfurt and sailed to North America as part of the Hessian mercenary force that had been rented out to the British. Heinrich changed his name to Henry, deserted the army, and established himself as a butcher in New York during the revolution. Back in Walldorf, Johaan was confirmed in the Lutheran Church and much to his dislike, assisted his father in the family butcher shop. When he reached his teens he was finally able to leave. He worked his way to London where he joined his brother George in his musical instrument shop. He anglicized his name to John Jacob and, in 1778, he and his brother established their own musical instrument shop in a fashionable part of the city.
