Page "Andrew Carnegie" Paragraph 29

In 1886, Carnegie's younger brother Thomas died at age 43.

Success in the business continued, however.

While owning steel works, Carnegie had purchased at low cost the most valuable of the iron ore fields around Lake Superior.

The same year Carnegie became a figure of controversy.

Following his tour of the UK, he wrote about his experiences in a book entitled An American Four-in-hand in Britain.

Although still actively involved in running his many businesses, Carnegie had become a regular contributor to numerous magazines, most notably the Nineteenth Century, under the editorship of James Knowles, and the influential North American Review, led by editor Lloyd Bryce.
