2 Jan 1881 Jahr - Carnegie took his family, including his 70-year-old mother, on a trip to the United Kingdom

Beschreibung:

They toured Scotland by coach, and enjoyed several receptions en route. The highlight was a return to Dunfermline, where Carnegie's mother laid the foundation stone of a Carnegie library which he funded. Carnegie's criticism of British society did not mean dislike; on the contrary, one of Carnegie's ambitions was to act as a catalyst for a close association between English-speaking peoples.
