![]() ![]() Two years later, Scrooge tried to thwart a train robbery. But he found himself thrown off the train, and met Murdo McKenzie and his cowboys. Scrooge proved his worth to Murdo by riding his worst tempered horse. Scrooge named this animal for his similarly tempered sister, Hortense. To that end, Scrooge, at 13, took a job as a cabin boy on the Queen Mary of Scots. From there he continued working for his uncle Angus “Pothole” McDuck until Pothole’s death two years later. Which left the boat, the Cotton Queen, to Scrooge. Scrooge continued his shoe-shining job until he could afford a horse and cart. From there he began his second job, selling firewood and peat. This lasted until the ghost of Sir Quackly McDuck convinced him to relocate to the United States. Scrooge McDuck began his first job at ten years of age, shoe shining. He used a kit for that purpose given by his father. He earned his first dime from Burt the Ditchdigger. Being an American dime, Scrooge never had anywhere to spend it. So he hung on to it, even when he was otherwise broke. He’s also displayed considerable expertise in fighting crime when it was directed at him. And is not above subterfuge to claim restitution for robbing him. Scrooge is also an accomplished treasure hunter and archaeologist, in the vein of Indiana Jones, Annja Creed, and Solomon Motou. His years of gold digging and regular swims through his “petty cash” enabled him to defeat an entire prison population at arm wrestling in two seconds apiece. ![]() Scrooge McDuck is an expert in all fields connected to running any kind of business successfully.
