Frederick Trump

 * ... that Frederick Trump (grandfather of businessman Donald Trump) operated a boom town hotel during the Klondike Gold Rush?


 * Reviewed: Jane Elizabeth Waterston
 * Comment: Made at the suggestion of User:Vesuvius Dogg. Other possibilities in the article include similar hotels in Seattle and Monte Cristo, Washington; or the fact that Trump was born in Germany and Anglicized his name sometime in the 1890s.  Feel like Donald needs to be mentioned in the DYK somewhere; not sure how exactly.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Long enough, new enough, neutral; QPQ done; no copy crimes or misdemeanours; cites in the right places (though to make it easy on reviewers you could give page numbers for individual facts and move the books themselves to a "Sources" section). Hook is fine and cited in the article (though I think you could make something of the Arctic being packed up and moved between boom towns, and there should be an "odious" before "businessman"). Good to go. Belle (talk) 09:57, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you. FWIW, there is now an online citation for the factoid in addition to an offline one.  p  b  p  00:38, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
