Astor’s Pacific post and the lost chance at the Pacific coast
An 1811 move by John Jacob Astor to establish Astoria near the Columbia River could have granted the United States control of the Pacific coast up to Alaska. Denied military aid and letters of marque by Presidents Madison and Monroe, Astor lost the post in 1813 to Canadian and British forces.
