From his humble beginnings as a Scottish immigrant to his ascension
to wealth and power as a 'captain of industry, ' Andrew Carnegie
embodied the American 'rags to riches' dream. Alive in the time of
the Civil War, Carnegie was the epitome of a self-made man, first
working his way up in a telegraph company and then making astute
investments in the railroad industry. Through hard work,
perseverance, and an earnest desire to develop himself in his
education, culture, and personal economy, Carnegie finally made his
considerable fortune in steel. What is perhaps most remarkable
about this historical figure, however, was his overwhelmingly
generous practice of philanthropy in his later life. In his essay
"The Gospel of Wealth," Carnegie relates his ideas on the
distribution of the rich's wealth to the poor in a responsible
capitalistic society. In setting an example of his own beliefs,
Carnegie gave away millions of dollars for the public good,
demonstrating his own willingness to promote human welfare and the
betterment of man.
