Hardcover. Condition: Near Good. No Jacket. Historic B&W Photographs (illustrator). 1st Edition. The Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie INSCRIBED by his wife (1920 Hardcover without Dust Jacket) As his wife remarked in the preface, after Carnegie retired from active business, he delighted in recording incidents from his active years.

His memoirs end summer 1914, he died August 1919.
