Website Spotlight: Andrew Carnegie

Website URL: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/carnegie/

The parts of this website which I find particularly useful are the following:

I. The Film & More

Nothing to note in here

II. Special Features

Meet Andrew Carnegie (consists of five brief sketches)

Philanthropy 101 (of the six parts, the "Carnegie Legacy" is crucial)

Making Money the Old-Fashioned Way (This section is the best part of all. Don't miss it.)

III. Timeline

This timeline is pretty weak compared to others in the American Experience series.

IV. Gallery: Millionaires' Row

These are worth viewing.

V. People & Events

The Homestead Strike

VI. Teacher's Guide

Make your choice from several wonderful suggestions.
