Description

Andrew Carnegie: A Life of Industry and Idealism This comprehensive biography offers a fascinating insight into the life of Andrew Carnegie, one of America's most influential industrialists. From his humble beginnings as a telegraph boy to his rise as a millionaire philanthropist, Wall masterfully reveals the complexities of Carnegie's personality and career. Carnegie's life is marked by a striking contrast between his business success and his idealistic views on social justice. This book delves into his Scottish heritage and explores how he navigated the challenges of reconciling his wealth with his family's egalitarian ideals. With access to previously inaccessible letterbooks and correspondence, Wall provides a unique perspective on Carnegie's personal life and business practices. Through extensive research, including consultation with the Library of Congress and the papers of Carnegie's business secretary, this biography sheds new light on the development of American industry and the remarkable story of Andrew Carnegie.
