Andrew Carnegie Andrew Carnegie is a personified heroic character of Horatio Alger’s that goes from rags to riches with hard work, dedication and a little bit of luck. Carnegie owes much of his success to what he learned in the railroads business. In 1835, change from handloom to steam loom weaving was disastrous to their family especially for the father. Looming was the family’s trade for years now their skills were not needed. As a result of the emergence of the British industrial revolution the Carnegie family was forced to move to the new world from Dunfermline, Scotland in hopes of get a better future for their sons Andrew and Thomas Carnegie. Andrew Carnegie was a poor boy of an honest family that worked hard and studied at the same time, waiting for that gold chance promised by a dream in the new world. After getting it, he still pushed forward to validate the trust and confidence of his superiors.
