Joseph Frazier Wall (1920-1995)
Andrew Carnegie's Greatest Historian

A Memoir by Liane Ellison Norman

Joseph Frazier Wall, author of the definitive biography of Andrew Carnegie, died on October 9, 1995.

I regard his death as a great personal loss; also a great loss to Pittsburgh. But the other side of loss is gratitude.

This masterful biography of a giant of American industry--the first full life of Andrew Carnegie in more than a generation--triumphantly reveals every aspect.

This collection covers 60 years of the industrial giant's life, from his letters to his cousin, George Lauder, written in , to the final chapter of his.
