The Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie

About this book

Written in 1919 and published posthumously in 1920, ‘The Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie’ is a very well-written and intriguing history of one of the most affluent men in the United States, a leading industrialist of the 19th and 20th centuries, Andrew Carnegie, who was one of America’s most triumphant and charitable businessmen.\ The Autobiography conveys his rise to power, from ignoble beginnings in Scotland to controlling the biggest steel empire in the history of the United States. Carnegie lays down the blueprint for success, with plenty of inspiring life lessons, while also giving unique first-hand impressions of burgeoning 19th-century America and some of the most eminent people of the age, including Abraham Lincoln and Mark Twain.
