    Extractions: The post-Civil War period witnessed an era in which vast fortunes were made in oil, meat-packing and steel. Millions of dollars were accumulated by such industrial giants as Andrew Carnegie, J. Swift Armour and John D. Rockefeller. Whether they were robber barons or lords of creation is a debatable point but no one disputes that their wealth gave them enormous power. In the pre-Civil War period, however, when millionaires were rare in this country, one name stands out. John Jacob Astor had no equal in the ability to amass wealth. How someone of such modest origins, without inheritance, was able to accomplish such a feat, stands out as one of the most remarkable stories in this country's economic history. There were three main circumstances that contributed to Astor's remarkable success. He was an industrious individual with tremendous drive, he was skilled in fur trading and he was able to avail himself of a vast wilderness with scant government supervision. Using devious and illegal means in his dealings with the Indians, Astor was able to monopolize the fur trade in the western United States during the early days of our nation. Then, shrewdly recognizing the potential of trade with China, he began to trade his furs with them, returning with extremely valuable cargoes. Astor's genius was in continually being the first: finding emerging markets where competition had not yet developed. By the time he sold the American Fur Company in 1834, he had already accumulated several million dollars. For many, it could well have been the ending of a successful career, but for John Astor, it was only the beginning. Astor's first stage of fortune-building involved producing goods and trading them. In his second stage he sought to profit from the productivity of others. His activities centered mainly around New York City, and the venture was real estate. Toward the close of his life, Astor commented, "Could I begin life again, knowing what I now know and had money to invest, I would buy every foot of land on the island of Manhattan."
