Loved this! Give me more Pittsburgh history! If I didn't know that this was all true I'd think it was a brilliant piece of fiction!

Meet You in Hell: Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, and the Bitter Partnership That Transformed America | Les Standiford

Hanging out at the Carnegie Library and museums today... He may have been a questionably moral person, but he sure built a lot of nice landmarks.

I read this book about a year ago and it has really stuck with me. It follows the friendship of Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick as they try to one-up each other in the steel business. If you like history and rivalry with a dose of gilded-age America, then this is the book for you.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

BestOfFates I would have have thought you could sell me on a steel business story but I'm intrigued! 8y

autumnprivett @BestOfFates It's a crazy story. Carnegie and Frick are both notable in the arts (libraries, museums) so it's fascinating to learn about their motivations...definitely not because of a love of art. 😁 8y

BestOfFates @autumnprivett That's so interesting! Until you mentioned it I didn't even realize the connection with the Frick Collection! 8y

Keegz63 Oooooo Sounds like something I could definitely get into! Thanks! 8y
