One of the earliest memoirs of an American capitalist, this volume appeared shortly after the 84-year-old author's death in 1919. Its real-life, rags-to-riches tale recounts the Scottish immigrant's rise from telegrapher's clerk to captain of industry and steel magnate. Includes "Gospel of Wealth," an influential essay outlining Carnegie's philanthropic views. Reprint of the Houghton Mifflin, Boston, 1920 edition.
