Publisher Description: After retiring from active business, Andrew Carnegie yielded to the earnest solicitations of friends, both in the United States and in Great Britain, and began to jot down from time to time recollections of his early days. He soon found, however, that instead of the leisure he expected, his life was more occupied with affairs than ever before, and the writing of these memoirs was reserved for his play-time in Scotland. For a few weeks each summer we retired to his little bungalow on the moors at Aultnagar to enjoy the simple life, and it was there that Mr. Carnegie did most of his writing. He delighted in going back to those early times, and as he wrote he lived them all over again. This book is a must read for those interested in the life of this important business leader, and this is a book which contains many great stories and lessons from the life of Andrew Carnegie in his own words and in his own buoyant style. |
