Frederick Trump (né Friedrich Drumpf; March 14, 1869 – March 30, 1918) was a German-born American businessman. He is the father of Fred Trump and John Trump and the grandfather of businessman and 2016 presidential candidate Donald Trump. Trump made his first fortune operating boom-town hotels, restaurants and brothels in the Northwestern United States.〔 Drumpf was born in the old Pfalz town of Kallstadt, where his family worked in a vineyard, to Katherina (Kober) and Christian Johannes Trump.〔()〕 His son Fred Trump later invented a Swedish origin, the name ''Drumpf'' and Karlstad〔 as Trump's birthplace. Trump emigrated to New York City in 1885 and worked as a barber for six years. In 1891, he moved to Seattle, Washington, and established a "decadent" restaurant (likely to have also been a brothel) known as the "Poodle Dog" (identical in name and format to a restaurant in San Francisco).〔(The Poodle Dog Restaurant, Part 2 - Jim Smith (San Francisco's Lost Landmarks) )〕 It was around this time that Trump anglicized his name to Frederick Trump, and became a naturalized United States citizen. In 1894, Trump operated a hotel in the mining town of Monte Cristo, Washington. In July 1897 after hearing of the Klondike Gold Rush, he ran another restaurant for arriving prospectors, then in April 1898 moved to Bennett, British Columbia, running the Arctic Restaurant and Hotel, which offered fine dining and lodging in a sea of tents.〔〔 The Arctic was originally housed in a tent itself, but demand for the hotel and restaurant grew until it occupied a two-story building.〔〔 When describing the Arctic in a letter to the ''Yukon Sun'' newspaper, Trump wrote: "For single men the Arctic has excellent accommodations as well as the best restaurant in Bennett, but I would not advise respectable women to go there to sleep as they are liable to hear that which would be repugnant to their feelings – and uttered, too, by the depraved of their own sex".〔 The Arctic House was one of the largest and most decadent restaurants in that region of the Klondike, offering fresh fruit and ptarmigan in addition to the staple of horsemeat.〔 In 1900, the 150-mile-long railroad White Pass and Yukon Route between Bennett and Whitehorse,Yukon Territory of Canada was completed, allowing Trump to establish the White Horse Restaurant and Inn in Whitehorse, Yukon. In 1901, sensing the end of the gold rush and fearing a crackdown on prostitution, Trump sold his investments and used the proceeds to return to Germany.〔 In 1902, Trump returned to Kallstadt to marry his old neighbor Elizabeth Christ (October 10, 1880 – June 6, 1966).〔(Elisabeth Trump (Christ) (1880 - 1966) - Genealogy )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Donald Trump genealogy )〕 German authorities determined that Trump had emigrated from Germany to avoid his tax and military-service obligations, and he and his pregnant wife were consequently expelled from the country. He returned to the United States and worked as a barber and restaurant manager in Woodhaven, Queens, where his sons Fred and John were born in 1905 and 1907, respectively. Trump died of pneumonia during the 1918 flu pandemic. At the time of his death, he was beginning to invest in real estate development in Queens; his wife and his son Fred would continue his real estate projects under the Elizabeth Trump & Son moniker. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frederick Trump」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
