The boy done good
Andrew Carnegie’s rise from humble beginnings in a weaver’s cottage in Scotland, to become a serial entrepreneur in America and the world’s richest man, is a compelling story. He was the archetypal Scots-American. He became intensely loyal to his adopted home City of Pittsburgh. However, he loved his native country, especially its ancient capital and his birthplace, Dunfermline; its historic characters, notably Wallace and Robert the Bruce; and, not least, its bard, Rabbie Burns.
How Carnegie’s eclectic interests led him, co-authored by Henry Steuart Fothringham, OBE, and Dr Charles Kinder Bradbury.
