At the age of 23 he left Quebec to go west and was hired by the American Fur Co. for $700/yr (excluding board and room), to build traps and other tools

Occupation:
In capacity of Blacksmith he was officially transferred to the Wabasha area where he built a shop and a house on the banks of the Mississippi River. This place was known as 'Cratte's Landing' and retained that name until the town of Wabasha was officially named some four years later in 1843.

Living:
he lived in Wabasha where he worked and raised his family and during that time owned a great deal of land in the area.
