Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1920. 8vo. (8 7/8 x 5 3/4 inches). xii, 385 pp. Frontispiece portrait of the author, numerous photographic illustrations. Publisher's blue cloth, matching cloth slipcase.
A posthumous look at the life of the great Andrew Carnegie.
The enlightening memoir of the Gilded Age industrialist as famous for his philanthropy as for his fortune, published the year after his death in 1919. "And what an extraordinary story the autobiography has to tell! It is indeed a unique record of personal achievement - he used the power his affluence gave him as a pioneer in vast beneficences, and, it may almost be said, as the founder of a new religion of wealth, the gospel of which he preached by word and deed" (The Atlantic, 1920 book review).
