Who is not familiar with name Carnegie? You will find it on libraries from New York to the Fiji islands. You may see it on schools, colleges and other public institutions. This is the story of Andrew Carnegie, a self-made steel tycoon, and one of the wealthiest 19th century U.S. businessmen. He was born in Dunfermline, Scotland, but moved to the United States at the age of 13 with his poor parents. Right now, it's the year 1850, and in Pittsburgh, two messenger boys from the Eastern telegraph company are sitting on the Brownstone steps of a large residence. One of them is Andrew Carnegie.
