Throughout this website you will find helpful information regarding the rise and fall of the steel industry in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  Andrew Carnegie paved the way for the steel industry to make its debut in this city through hard work, smart investments, and an accumulation of wealth; and he helped it stay there by the same measures (even though some thought his ways unsavory).  Carnegie helped launch an industry that lasted almost 100 years in Pittsburgh and truly made his mark on not only the Steel City , but the whole country.
