Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie
Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie was written in the steelmaker's last years and published in 1920, a year after his death. Carnegie recounts his childhood in Dunfermline, Scotland, the family's emigration to Pennsylvania in 1848, his first jobs as bobbin boy and telegraph messenger, his rise through the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the building of the steel business that made him one of the richest men in the world. He writes about his partners, his dealings with labor, including the Homestead strike, his friendships with writers and statesmen, and the philosophy of giving set out in his earlier essay on wealth. The tone is confident and anecdotal, that of a man pleased with his story. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
