FYI: No one knows exactly how Sam Zemurray came across his first banana in 1893, but he knew it was special. In fact, Sam became so obsessed with the yellow fruit that he traveled to Mobile, Alabama two years later in hopes of entering the banana trade. Unfortunately, there was one problem with his plan—Sam Zemurray had almost no money. How was an 18 year old with no financial capital, no connections, and a Russian accent going to grow bananas, ship them across the Gulf of Mexico, and then sell them to American consumers throughout the South? Upon arriving at the docks in Mobile, Sam found his answer–the ripes.
