Andrew Carnegie (, but commonly or ; November 25, 1835 – August 11, 1919 ) was a Scottish-American industrialist who led the enormous expansion of the American steel industry in the late 19th century.

Carnegie was born in Dunfermline, Scotland, and emigrated to the United States with his parents in 1848.

He built Pittsburgh's Carnegie Steel Company, which was later merged with Elbert H. Gary's Federal Steel Company and several smaller companies to create U. S. Steel.

Andrew Carnegie was born in Dunfermline, Scotland, in a typical weaver's cottage with only one main room consisting of half the ground floor which was shared with the neighboring weaver's family.

In spring 1861, Carnegie was appointed by Scott, who was now Assistant Secretary of War in charge of military transportation, as Superintendent of the Military Railways and the Union Government's telegraph lines in the East.

Carnegie later joked that he was " the first casualty of the war " when he gained a scar on his cheek from freeing a trapped telegraph wire.

He was invited to many important social functions — functions that Carnegie exploited to his own advantage.

In the late 1880s, Carnegie Steel was the largest manufacturer of pig iron, steel rails, and coke in the world, with a capacity to produce approximately 2, 000 tons of pig metal per day.

Carnegie's share of this amounted to $ 225, 639, 000 ( presently, $), which was paid to Carnegie in the form of 5 %, 50-year gold bonds.

It was said that "... Carnegie never wanted to see or touch these bonds that represented the fruition of his business career.

By the standards of 19th century tycoons, Carnegie was not a particularly ruthless man but a humanitarian with enough acquisitiveness to go in the ruthless pursuit of money ; on the other hand, the contrast between his life and the lives of many of his own workers and of the poor, in general, was stark.
