Andrew Carnegie: From Steel to the Building of LibrariesFREE

Andrew Carnegie: From Steel to the Building of Libraries

Garfield Public Library · Garfield

Join Professor Feingold, for a lecture about Carnegie and his role in library history. Andrew Carnegie amassed an enormous fortune in the steel industry and then became a major philanthropist. During the late 19th century, when steel was first used as railroad track, Carnegie perfected low-cost steel production. The Carnegie Steelworks, in Homestead, PA, employed men producing steel under primitive industrial working conditions. The lecture covers the deadly 1892 strike at Homestead which pitted law enforcement against the steelworkers. After Carnegie sold his steel company, he gave all his money away by building over 2,500 libraries, many of which still exist today.
