| Prince
of Steel traces the remarkable rise of the man whose name is engraved on
libraries, concert halls, and universities across the United States.
Andrew Carnegie started out earning $1.20 a week in a thread factory. But his foresight brought him to the golden opportunity of the 1800's: railroads. By amassing stock in the growth industries of trains and steel, Carnegie built a fortune. Then, he started to share it. Today he is as well-known for his generous educational and cultural endowments as he is for his financial success. |
