Andrew Carnegie is known as the father of modern steel and was one of America’s richest men. He founded the Carnegie Steel Company, which later became the U.S. Steel Corporation. He retired at the age of 66 and spent much of his vast fortune creating philanthropic organizations dedicated to the causes such as world peace and education. A Short Biography
Andrew Carnegie was born in 1835 in Scotland to a poor family. When Scotland faced large-scale famine in 1848, his father, William Carnegie, decided to move the family to the United States in search of a better life. At age 13, Carnegie started his first job which was changing spools of thread in a cotton mill. Two years later, he worked in the Ohio Telegraph Company as a telegraph messenger boy. He was an extremely hard worker, and as a result rose to prominence very quickly. At the young age of 18, he became the superintendent of the Pittsburgh division of the telegraph company. As he matured, he made several good investments in railroad-related industries, creating the foundation for his later wealth.
