Forged from Steel
Carnegie’s plants manufactured Bessemer steel, a new way of forging the metal from pig iron. In 1901 J. Pierpont Morgan bought out Carnegie and formed the United States Steel Corporation, the first corporation with a capitalization of more than $1 billion.
Among the philanthropic projects Carnegie undertook were:
A series of Carnegie libraries, both in Britain and in the United States
The Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh (later Carnegie-Mellon University)
Carnegie Hall in New York City
A pension fund for college professors that later evolved into TIAA-CREF (Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association– College Retirement Equities Fund)
