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.

Carnegie was a consistent borrower and a " self-made man " in both his economic development and his intellectual and cultural development.

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.
