He also opened a hotel during the gold rush in alaska/canada. From that money he bought property in NY and startet the trump business
As the post blew up: yes it was a brothel and crime in that area was rampant. Also want to credit the podcast "Was bisher geschah" for the info. I listened to their goldrush episode hours before this post. Great podcast !
He purchased and operated a hotel/brothel in Monte Cristo WA and sold around 1900 just as the gold rush was coming into harbour in Seattle. The following winter destroyed the town with avalanche.
In Bennett BC he owned and operated another hotel/brothel and sold this one as well. Shortly after that his partner (and now full owner of the hotel) was arrested for public drunkenness and the hotel repossessed.
Edit: The Trump business tactic began with Frederick: buy an existing location, rebrand operate and sell it. Rinse repeat.

Frederick also dodged disaster twice:

Edit: wrong city name.

I mean, depending on what year we're talking about, I would've fled the country too rather than serve the German army.
