Excerpt from Annals of Fort Mackinac
To notice slightly the origin of the American Fur Com pany, we will say that John Jacob Astor, a German by birth, who arrived in New York in the year 1784, commenced work for a bakery owned by a German acquaintance. He was afterwards assisted to Open a toy shop, and this was fol lowed by trafficking for small parcels of furs in the country towns, and which led to his future Operations in that line.
