作家称：唐纳德·特朗普的祖父曾在淘金热期间经营加拿大妓院

弗里德里希·特朗普在前往纽约之前，靠育空地区的酒店生意积累了“可观的财富”

对于唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）那看似不太可能成功的总统竞选之路，加拿大人或许觉得颇为有趣；但他们可能并不知道，自己的国家在塑造特朗普家族历史的过程中也扮演过重要角色。

特朗普家族的财富积累始于一场充满传奇色彩的冒险，这段经历涉及克朗代克（Klondike）淘金热、加拿大皇家骑警、色情服务业，以及一系列将他推向纽约市的命运转折。

一位刚完成家族多代传记新版本的作家表示，弗里德里希·特朗普（Friedrich Trump）在前往育空地区之前，已在北美生活了几年。

《特朗普家族：建立商业帝国的祖孙三代》（*The Trumps: Three Generations That Built An Empire*）一书的作者格温达·布莱尔（Gwenda Blair）指出，这段在加拿大的经历对这位德国移民企业家的成功至关重要。

“这让他得以积累起一笔可观的资金——也就是他当初来美国时所追求的那种‘安身立命的资本’，”这位作家兼哥伦比亚大学新闻学教授在接受采访时说道。

“试想一下，作为一个既无背景人脉、起初甚至不懂英语的年轻人，想要在那么短的时间内、在其他任何地方积累起如此巨额的财富，这显然……是不太可能的。”

他于1885年离开欧洲时年仅16岁，当时只是一名理发学徒，父亲早逝。

特朗普渴望走出理发店，远离家族世代耕耘的葡萄园——自17世纪定居德国卡尔施塔特（Kallstadt）地区以来，他的祖先便在那里劳作，当时家族姓氏还是“Drumpf”（后来才改为“Trump”）。

他乘坐轮船的统舱（最廉价舱位）前往纽约投奔姐姐。

短短五年内，他将名字英语化为“弗雷德里克”（Frederick），搬到了新兴的木材重镇西雅图，并积攒了足够的资金，买下了一家餐馆所需的桌椅。

他人生中的下一次重大转折，预示于1897年7月17日《西雅图邮讯报》（*Seattle Post-Intelligencer*）的头版头条，那醒目的大标题惊呼着：“黄金！黄金！黄金！”文中描绘了港口一派辉煌的景象：那里堆积着如山的黄金，人们从“新埃尔多拉多”（New Eldorado）满载而归，身家高达10万美元。

特朗普变卖了所有家当，启程北上。

移居加拿大使他免遭经济上的灭顶之灾。他不仅卖掉了西雅图的两家餐馆，还出售了位于华盛顿州蒙特克里斯托（Monte Cristo）附近的土地——就在洪水和雪崩摧毁当地铁路、该镇的开发计划随之搁浅之前。

布莱尔（Blair）讲述了他1898年初那段险象环生的北上旅程。

在登上前往阿拉斯加的拥挤船只后，特朗普翻山越岭，穿过加拿大海关，抵达育空河畔；在那里，他不得不从零开始建造船只，并运送足够维持一年的个人物资。

最艰难的路段是一处臭名昭著的山隘。据美国国家公园管理局估计，约有3000头牲畜在怀特山口（White Pass）丧生；如今，在被称为“死马峡谷”（Dead Horse Gulch）的地方，仍能看到许多动物的遗骨。

布莱尔写道：“主人挥鞭驱赶马、驴、骡、牛和狗，直到它们累倒毙命。这些动物的尸体既未掩埋，也未被移走。”

“行路人……别无选择，只能踩着这些遗骸前行。随着时间推移，山口两侧的岩壁都被鲜血染成了暗红色。”

特朗普嗅到了商机。

据布莱尔（Blair）所述，他在沿途开了一家餐馆，疲惫的旅人常在此驻足，吃上一口北极地区的“路边野味”（即因意外死亡而被捡拾的动物肉）。布莱尔写道，当时沿途有类似经营场所的记录：“一道常见的菜肴是现宰后速冻的马肉。”

这确立了特朗普在加拿大经商模式的雏形。

这一模式可以用一个章节标题来概括：“从矿工身上掘金”（Mining the Miners）。

布莱尔写道，与其他那些为淘金而疯狂的移民不同，“[特朗普]意识到，致富的最佳途径是放下镐头和铁锹，转而拿起账本。”

“酒与色”

在加拿大的三年间，特朗普与一位合伙人先后在两地开设了“北极餐厅与酒店”（Arctic Restaurant and Hotel）——起初位于不列颠哥伦比亚省北部的贝内特湖（Bennett Lake）畔，随后迁至育空地区的怀特霍斯（Whitehorse）。

据布莱尔介绍，这家两层楼的木结构建筑在当地享有盛誉，被视为该地区最好的餐馆，供应鲑鱼、鸭肉、驯鹿肉和牡蛎等佳肴。

但它提供的服务远不止餐饮。

布莱尔写道：“大部分现金流来自酒水销售和性交易。”她援引了当时的报纸广告，其中含蓄地提及了卖淫活动——广告中提到设有供女士使用的私人套房，房间内还配备了秤，以便顾客在选择以此种方式支付服务费用时可以称量黄金。

《育空太阳报》（Yukon Sun）的一位撰稿人曾对那些“幕后”勾当发表过一番道貌岸然的评论：“对于单身汉来说，北极（The Arctic）拥有最好的餐馆，”他写道，“但我并不建议正派女性去那里过夜，因为她们很可能会听到一些令其反感的话——而且这些话往往出自同为女性的堕落之徒口中。”

起初，皇家骑警对这种喧闹混乱的局面采取了容忍态度。不过也有例外，据加拿大传奇作家皮埃尔·伯顿（Pierre Berton）记载，如果有人在打牌时作弊、在公共场合滋事，或者在安息日（礼拜日）寻欢作乐，就会面临强制劳役或被驱逐出城的惩罚。

“周六午夜前一分钟，所有的酒馆、舞厅、剧院和商铺都会关门停业，”伯顿在《克朗代克热》（Klondike Fever）一书中写道。

“在午夜前两分钟，法罗牌（faro）赌桌旁的监场人员会从口袋里掏出怀表，高声喊道：‘伙计们，最后一局了！’”

“我不会称他为皮条客”

特朗普当时身兼数职，既是厨师，又是保镖，还是服务员。

但布莱尔（Blair）提醒道：“我不会称他为皮条客。”

她说，在那些城镇，餐馆附带提供一些“幕后”的淫秽娱乐活动是常态，至于这种安排的具体运作方式尚不清楚：“作为一个试图招揽生意的餐馆老板，他当然会提供酒水，也当然会安排让顾客轻易接触到女性。但在我看来，‘皮条客’属于另一种商业模式。”

到了1901年初，麻烦开始酝酿。

皇家骑警宣布计划取缔卖淫活动，并遏制赌博和酗酒。特朗普与合伙人发生了争执，金矿的发现也变得越来越稀少。

“弗雷德里克·特朗普意识到，繁荣期已经结束了，”布莱尔写道，“他赚到了钱；而且——这在育空地区尤为难得——他守住了这些财富，并带着一笔可观的积蓄离开了那里。”

他带着一笔相当于当今币值58.2万美元的资金回到德国，并娶了妻子。然而，由于他在应服兵役期间离境并加入了美国国籍，他被视为逃避兵役者而遭到了排斥。

于是，他被自己的祖国驱逐出境。他登上了前往纽约的轮船，当时妻子正怀着唐纳德的父亲。老特朗普于1918年因肺炎去世，留下了一些房产。他的儿子建立了商业帝国，而他的孙子则打造了全球知名的品牌。

具有讽刺意味的是，他们的继承人如今正竞选总统，其竞选纲领主张大规模驱逐移民。不过，唐纳德与他的祖父也有一些共同特质——比如创业精神，以及年轻时在加拿大度过的那段塑造了其性格的经历。

唐纳德是在蒙特利尔奥运会期间结识第一任妻子伊万娜的。

Donald Trump's grandfather ran Canadian brothel during gold rush, author says

Friedrich Trump amassed 'substantial nest-egg' from Yukon hotel before heading to New York

Canadians amused by the improbable presidential run of Donald Trump might be surprised to learn the role their own country played in shaping his story.

Trump's grandfather started the family fortune in an adventure that involved the Klondike gold rush, the Mounties, prostitution and twists of fate that pushed him to New York City.

Friedrich Trump had been in North America a few years when he set out for the Yukon, says an author who's just completed a new edition of her multi-generational family biography.

​That Canadian chapter proved pivotal for the entrepreneurial German immigrant, says Gwenda Blair, author of The Trumps: Three Generations That Built An Empire.

"It allowed him to get together the nest egg he'd come to the United States for," the author and Columbia University journalism professor said in an interview.

"Whether he could've accumulated that much money somewhere else, in that short a period of time, as a young man with no connections, and initially not even English, is certainly ... unlikely."

He'd left Europe in 1885 at age 16, a barber's apprentice whose father died young.

Trump wanted a life outside the barber shop, far from the family-owned vineyards his ancestors had been working since they'd settled in Germany's Kallstadt region in the 1600s carrying the soon-altered surname Drumpf.

He sailed in steerage to join his sister in New York.

Within five years he'd anglicized his name to Frederick; moved to the young timber town of Seattle; and amassed enough cash to buy tables and chairs for a restaurant.

His next big move was heralded by the front page of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer of July 17, 1897, and its exclamatory headline: "Gold! Gold! Gold!"

It described a resplendent scene at the port involving mountains of yellow metal and men returning from the "New Eldorado" with fortunes as high as $100,000.

Trump sold everything and headed north.

The move to Canada spared him financial disaster. He not only sold off two Seattle eateries, but also land in nearby Monte Cristo, Wash. — right before floods and avalanches destroyed the nearby railroad and development plans for the town were scrapped.

Blair describes his perilous northward journey in early 1898.

After boarding a crowded ship to Alaska, Trump trekked over mountains, through Canadian customs, and to the Yukon River where he had to build a boat from scratch and transport a year's worth of personal supplies.

The worst was a notorious mountain pass. The U.S. National Parks Service estimates 3,000 animals died on the White Pass, with many bones still visible today in its so-called Dead Horse Gulch.

"Owners whipped horses, donkeys, mules, oxen, and dogs until they dropped. The bodies were not buried or even moved," Blair writes.

"Travellers ... had no choice but to walk over the remains. As the months went by, the walls of the pass were stained dark red from the blood."

Trump smelled opportunity.

He opened a canteen along the route, Blair says, where weary travellers likely stopped for a bite of Arctic roadkill. There are records for similar establishments along the route, Blair writes: "A frequent dish was fresh-slaughtered, quick-frozen horse."

This established a pattern for Trump's Canadian business model.

It's summed up in one chapter title: "Mining the Miners."

Unlike other gold-crazed migrants, Blair wrote, "[Trump] realized that the best way to get [rich] was to lay down his pick and shovel and pick up his accounting ledger."

'Liquor and sex'

In his three years in Canada, Trump opened the Arctic Restaurant and Hotel in two locations with a partner — first on Bennett Lake in northern B.C., and then moving it to Whitehorse, Yukon.

Their two-storey wood-framed establishment gained a reputation as the finest eatery in the area, Blair said — offering salmon, duck, caribou, and oysters.

It offered more than food.

"The bulk of the cash flow came from the sale of liquor and sex," Blair wrote. She cited newspaper ads referring obliquely to prostitution — mentioning private suites for ladies, and scales in the rooms so patrons could weigh gold if they preferred to pay for services that way.

One Yukon Sun writer moralized about the backroom goings-on: "For single men the Arctic has the best restaurant," he wrote, "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 Mounties initially tolerated the rowdiness. There were exceptions, according to the legendary Canadian writer Pierre Berton. People faced forced labour or banishment from town if they cheated at cards; made a public ruckus; or partied on the Lord's Day.

"Saloons and dance halls, theatres and business houses were shut tight one minute before midnight on Saturday," Berton wrote in "Klondike Fever."

"Two minutes before twelve the lookout at the faro table would take his watch from his pocket and call out: 'The last turn, boys!"'

'I wouldn't call him a pimp'

Trump acted as cook, bouncer, waiter.

But Blair cautions: "I wouldn't call him a pimp."

She said backroom ribaldry was part of the restaurant package in those towns, and it's not clear how the arrangement worked: "As somebody trying to attract business to his restaurant, of course he would have liquor. Of course he would arrange easy access to women. A pimp is, I think, a different business model."

By early 1901, trouble was brewing.

The Mounties announced plans to banish prostitution, and curb gambling and liquor. Trump quarrelled with his partner. Gold strikes were getting scarcer.

"The boom was over, Frederick Trump realized," Blair wrote. "He had made money; perhaps even more unusual in the Yukon, he had also kept it and departed with a substantial nest-egg."

He returned to Germany with US$582,000 in today's currency, and found a wife. But he was greeted as a draft-dodger for being away and becoming a U.S. citizen during his military years.

So he was deported from his own country. He boarded a ship for New York, his wife pregnant with Donald's dad.

The elder Trump died of pneumonia in 1918, leaving behind some real estate. His son built the empire, his grandson the global brand.

Ironically, their heir is now running for president on a platform of mass-deportation. But Donald and grandpa share some traits — an entrepreneurial spirit, and formative youthful adventures in Canada.

Donald met his first wife, Ivana, at the Montreal Olympics.
