Carnegie is not situated beside a river, therefore no great steel mill existed there (despite its name). The early manufactories were of the light industry types. Coal-mining existed there, as did the manufacturing of stoves. Lead works existed, too, but those manufactories are things of the past. They are as extinct as the horse and buggy.
