About this book
Andrew Carnegie recalls a childhood in Dunfermline through family stories, his father's weaving trade and the voices of relatives and neighbours. His autobiography follows a life that moves from Scotland to America, then through work in Pittsburgh, telegraphy, railroads and the iron and steel industries. The 1920 volume was arranged for publication by John C. Van Dyke, whose editorial note explains that he preserved Carnegie's own manner of telling the story.
Business growth appears through accounts of particular people rather than figures alone. Carnegie describes mill workers and clerks becoming partners, debates over entering the steel trade and his belief in rewarding exceptional service. The contents extend to labour disputes, educational funds and efforts for peace. Readers can use this personal account to examine how an industrialist understood his success, his colleagues and the responsibilities he attached to wealth.
