About Carnegie
Andrew Carnegie was a Scottish-American industrialist and philanthropist born on November 25, 1835, in Dunfermline, Scotland. He emigrated to the United States with his family in 1848 and rose to prominence as a key figure in the expansion of the American steel industry in the late 19th century, eventually founding the Carnegie Steel Company. After selling his steel business to J.P. Morgan for $480 million in 1901, Carnegie devoted the latter part of his life to philanthropy, establishing numerous libraries, educational institutions, and cultural organizations, and advocating for world peace. He passed away on August 11, 1919.
