Features: Not a single cent of the company was diverted to build mansions, engage in stock speculation, or participate in business investments unrelated to the company's main operations. We present a thriving enterprise. As long as one child benefits from these libraries, I will consider them not built in vain. Andrew Carnegie, when he came to America at the age of 13, was a poor Scottish child; years later, he became the steel magnate of the United States. Is this a fairy tale? No. The book mainly introduces parents and childhood, Dunfermline and America, Pittsburgh and work, Colonel Anderson and books, the telegraph company, the railroad company, supervisors, the Civil War period, bridge construction, and the ironworks.
