Astor began life as one of twelve children of a poor German butcher and died the richest man in America. The making of a accomplished it by dominating the American fur trade and investing his profits in the real estate of burgeoning New York City. Shortly before his death, Astor was asked if he would have done anything differently with his life. He is supposed to have replied that his only regret was not having bought all of Manhattan. Astor was born in the small town of Waldorf, near Heidelberg, Germany. At twenty he followed his older brother Henry to

John Jacob Astor: America's First Multimillionaire Madsen, Axel Published by EH.NET (August 2001) Axel Madsen, John Jacob Astor: America's First Multimillionaire Reviewed for EH.NET by Ann Harper Fender, Department of Economics, Gettysburg College. Axel Madsen joins a long list of John Jacob Astor biographers. His bibliography contains more than a dozen histories of the self-made millionaire, his business activities, or his family. Astor family friend Washington Irving penned the first with the elderly tycoon's blessing and assistance: a chronicle of Astoria, the failed venture on the Pacific coast that was published in 1836 as Astoria: Adventure in the Pacific Northwest . Madsen relies heavily on these secondary sources, citing especially the journalist James Parton's 1865 Life of John Jacob Astor as a major source. What motivated Astor might be forever unknown; the economic historian can still wish for more details about his business transactions, gleaned from whatever business records remain. Madsen mentions that most of Astor's business papers were destroyed after his death, hinting that this might have been deliberate. He also refers to the business archives of the American Fur Company, however, as well as to business documents in various public libraries. Whether these can be mined for more insights into Astor's success is not clear. How Astor's descendants spent the fortune that John Jacob earned occupies the last portion of the book. The reader sometimes suspects that the author is more comfortable with the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries than with the eighteenth and early nineteenth. Madsen has written numerous biographies, focusing from such twentieth century business figures as Coco Chanel and William Durant to Hollywood stars such as Barbara Stanwyck, John Huston, and Billy Wilder. In the Astor biography, the text several times gives a date such as 1911 when 1811 clearly is intended, perhaps an unintentional looking ahead to the society page antics of future Astors. An economic historian wonders what comparisons Madsen could make between Astor and the other business tycoons about whom he has written. Or between young companies operating, albeit loosely, under the laws of the U.S. and those operating under British royal charters.

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 and most of what would become the Oregon Trail. These fur trading posts, especially Okanogan, and the Oregon Trail were major factors in the boundary between the Unites States and Canada being at the forty-ninth parallel, instead of at the Columbia River as the British had insisted. There is no question that despite the wrong people in key roles, i.e. Jonathan Thorn, Wilson Price Hunt, Duncan McDougall, the Astorians played a major role in the geographical outline of the United States. The accomplishments of the Astorians led to the realization of the American Manifest Destiny for several hundred thousand American pioneers that traveled the Oregon Trail route to the Willamette Valley. The first non-missionary wife and the first white children to travel over the Oregon Trail was in 1840. This was the family of Joel Walker, the brother of mountain man Joseph Walker (Lavender). The Oregon Trail opened up a new way of life for a great many Americans, but by the same token, the Oregon Trail sounded the death knell for a great many other Americans. The first family of settlers to travel over South Pass on the Oregon Trail was the beginning of the end for millions of buffalo and the Plains Indians. Forty-six years later, the last buffalo hunt was held in the Judith Valley (Ewers), and the vast majority of Plains Indians were on reservations.

In , John Jacob married Ava Lowle Willing, a Philadelphia socialite. Ava was beautiful and rather turned off by her husband, whom she married for the sake of a "good" social match. Ava bore John Jacob, known to his friends as Jack and his Harvard buddies as "Jackass", two children. The first child was William Vincent Astor , known to everyone as Vincent. He would later become Jack's heir. The second child was named Ava Alice Astor, always known as Alice. There was always speculation that Alice was not Jack's child due to her birth being 11 years after Vincent's and Ava's flirtations with other men during her marriage. A look at a photograph of Alice in later years shows a strong resemblance to Jack. John Jacob backed, with other entrepreneurs (such as J.P. Morgan), the

Ruthless, tightfisted but with an amazing gift for organizing businesses, Astor built an empire that spanned the commercial world of his time. Astor had an uncanny knack for getting out of an industry just before it went bust: he liquidated his China clippers just as tea from India and Japan cut into the China tea trade; he dropped his fur interests just as fashion shifted and before furs became too scarce to be used in the emerging ready-made clothing industry. He then successfully converted profits into Manhattan real estate. Written by bestselling biographer Axel Madsen, John Jacob Astor tells the fascinating tale of the immigrant son of a butcher who made his fortune in a new world where his money influenced public policy and led him to socialize with presidents and kings, and illuminates the story of the beginning of big business in America.
