This talk tells the colorful stories of Pittsburgh business giants Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, Charles M. Schwab and Andrew Mellon. To say that the story of steel—the backbone of industrial civilization—is the story of Pittsburgh business heroes is only a slight exaggeration. These men struggled to produce steel, battled against unions and fought each other. Their flaws were real, their achievements were legendary, their life-giving productivity was vast, and their stories—told in this talk—were and remain fascinating.
