How Astor Joined Emerick in the Fur Trade
John Jacob Astor met Emerick on a ship to the United States. Emerick had 14 years in the fur trade and mentored Astor during a two month icebound Chesapeake Bay voyage. After arriving in New York, Emerick secured him a job with Robert Browne, and by 1786 and 1787 Astor became a one third partner in Emerick's firm, a partnership that lasted until Emerick's death.
