Peter Adolph Grotjan, a German merchant, emigrated to Philadelphia in 1796 where he engaged in trade with Hamburg, New York, Baltimore, Alexandria, and the West Indies. He operated a commercial house in Reading, PA in 1797, and then returned to his Philadelphia business. In 1812, he began publishing Grotjan's Philadelphia Public Sale Reports, a commercial newspaper which he continued until 1822. He then became interested in politics as a Jacksonian and founded the Philadelphia Hickory Club in 1822. He served as Philadelphia County Auditor, 1828-1836, 1841-1844.

Grotjan, Peter A. 1774-1850. Peter Adolph Grotjan memoirs 1844 - 1846

Title: Peter Adolph Grotjan memoirs 1844 - 1846

The first volume, begun in 1844, consists of "preparatory notes and memoranda" for the second, the autobiography itself, which is a detailed account of Grotjan's life to 1817. It gives a detailed description of the cholera and yellow fever epidemics in Philadelphia, journeys to the west, the upper south, and to the West Indies, Albert Gallatin's visit to Reading and the ensuing riot, 1798, as well as his encounters with other political figures including Jefferson, Burr, and Buchanan. The last chapter of the autobiography was completed posthumously from the notes. This collection contains the memoirs and autobiographical notes of Peter Adolph Grotjan, a German merchant who immigrated to Philadelphia in 1796 and became an important figure in area commerce and politics. He served as Philadelphia County Auditor twice (once from 1828 to 1836 and again from 1841 to 1844) and published a commercial newspaper, Grotjan's Philadelphia Public Sale Reports. Volume 1 of the collection is a bound book of "preparatory notes and memoranda" used in writing his memoir, which is Volume 2. The memoir is a detailed account of Grotjan's life to 1817, briefly covering his childhood in Germany and focusing on his adult life in and around Philadelphia. It provides a detailed description of the cholera and yellow fever epidemics in Philadelphia, Albert Gallatin's visit to Reading, Pennsylvania in 1798 and the ensuing riot, and encounters with political figures including Thomas Jefferson, Aaron Burr, and James Buchanan. There are also descriptions of his journeys to the American West and South, and to the West Indies. The memoirs in Volume 2 have many notes in the margins that point out important events, and annotations from a later proofreading that possibly were used to prepare the memoirs for publication. The last chapter of the autobiography was completed posthumously from notes.
