After all, in America's high society, there was only one Astor Family!
"Mr. Astor, I was waiting for you early in my tavern, but I didn't expect to be disturbed by an unrelated person. I hope you don't mind my poor hospitality!"
Walker Astor said helplessly, "It seems, Mr. Block, you have already guessed my identity?"
Donnie nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, your father must be Mr. John Astor, Astor IV!"
To later generations, the Astor Family might seem very unfamiliar compared to America's top families.
But in fact, in this era, the Astor Family was truly among America's elite... even though it was on the decline!
The founder of the Astor Family, Astor I, created two historical firsts in America: the first millionaire and, with great foresight, he established the first family trust in American history.
Also, the Astor Family were landlords in New York!
