The Romance of Steel

Book Description
Excerpt from The Romance of Steel: The Story of a Thousand Millionaires This book is the first popular history of our greatest American industry. The wonderful story of steel is here told in such a way that those who have no technical knowledge of steel-making may enjoy and appreciate the miracles that have been accomplished. First, it is a story of the electric expansion of a business from bankruptcy to billions. It is an American story of self-help - of the unprivileged men who climbed from poverty to the commercial supremacy of the world. And also it is a biography of that most useful of all metals - the structural metal of modern civilisation. Now that the iron and steel business has passed into the hands of more than sixty thousand stockholders, there has come a demand for a popular book on the subject, which shall be not only picturesque, but accurate and instructive as well. Therefore, while I have written these pages after the manner of fiction, the facts have been gathered from the highest authorities. Fully nine-tenths of the material has been obtained at first hand, either from the Steel Kings themselves or from original documents. The book is, in fact, the result of a two-years' study of the American iron and steel business, made on the spot, and with the assistance of many experts. I take this opportunity to express my thanks to the following gentlemen for their courtesy and friendly co-operation: - Andrew Carnegie, H. C. Prick, John Fritz, Charles M. Schwab, Elbert H. Gary, George W. Perkins, George Gould, James M. Swank, George Lauder, John Walker, F. T. F. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Story of Iron and Steel This little volume, the outgrowth of courses in American industry, is an attempt to present the main facts of iron and steel making so that any intelligent person can grasp the essence of the complex technical phenomena of iron and steel making without even having to meet technical terms.
