Colonel John Jacob Astor IV was born in Rhinebeck,
New York
on July 13th, 1864. In 1894 Astor wrote a semi-scientific novel A Journey in Other Worlds . During his life he also developed several mechanical devices including a bicycle brake (1898), helped to develop the turbine engine, and invented a pneumatic road-improver.  In 1897 Astor built the Astoria Hotel,
New York
adjoining the Waldorf Hotel which had been built by William Waldorf Astor, his cousin. The new complex became known as the Waldorf-Astoria.
He became Colonel-staff to General Levi P. Morton and in 1898, at the time of the Spanish-American War, was commissioned as a lieutenant colonel in the
US
volunteers. He placed his yacht Nourmahal at the disposal of the
U.S.
government and equipped a mountain battery of artillery for use against the Spanish.
In 1912 Col. Astor perished as a passenger aboard the Titanic when it sank.
