Andrew Carnegie was, arguably, one of the richest men in America. Some say his wealth was a result of providing poor and cheap working conditions for his employees. Others say he was just an honest, hard working man. So, who's right?
             Andrew Carnegie was a man who happened o be in the right place, at the right time, with the right ideas. Larry L. Fabian described Carnegie by stating, "Charm, a gentle sense of humor, an honest humanity, an ingratiating impishness, and a kindliness of spirit, all of these he displayed in abundance." (1985)
             Andrew Carnegie was born in 1835. The first thirteen years of his life were spend in Scotland. In 1848, an economic depression forced his family to move to the United States. At the age of fourteen, Andrew Carnegie took on his second job. He worked as a messenger at his local Pittsburgh Telegraph Office. Thomas Scott noticed his working efforts and appointed him as his secretary. Later, Carnegie followed Scott to Washington. Scott was appointed as the Assistant Secretary of War.
             After the Civil War, Andrew Carnegie took Scott's former position as superintendent of the western division to the Pennsylvania Railroad. In taking this position, Andrew Carnegie had power. He liked it; and long for more of it. It was here when Carnegie became a shareholder in many companies and iron mills.
             Andrew Carnegie formed his wealth by the production of iron and steel. Some of which was used in the making of railroads. Since railroads were demanded by the American people, and steel was needed for the making of railroads, Andrew Carnegie developed most of his wealth by profiting off of this.
             Having information sources around the country, Andrew Carnegie was aware of the happenings around him. With the help of others, he predicted that steel would be the next product to mass produce and overshadow his iron. With this in mind, Andrew Carnegie took action.
