the early failure failure Carnegie is forced to bring construction tool dream has become a nightmare he's not going down without a fight the birth of modern America is well underway train homes Across the Nation are lit at night which is construction project on the banks of the Mississippi River  lead by Andrew Carnegie Carnegie has insisted on building his bridge out of steel  an material  used cars  construction is drastically behind schedule and dangerously over budget  Carnegie is under mounting pressure difference between people who succeed and people who fail I think in many cases it's not fear everyone experiences fear and the difference is do you work over, or do you let it be  and I think Dad is actually what distinguishes very successful people desperate Carnegie reaches out to investors looking for an infusion of cash Wilmington St Louis Bridges progressing survey  I'm convinced the field winter however obtaining such a large quantity of Steel is proving to be difficult Travolta proving to extremely expensive  by forecast shows that we will require another million dollar before the years I but I have no doubt that in time the people will come to see the bridge  a

for his steel than he can possibly handle  his biggest customer is an the railroads are looking to replace their Bridges and rails with steel the Carnegie can't produce enough of the new material to fill all the orders and to do that he needs to raise additional funds so he turned to his old Mentor Tom Scott with his help Carnegie raises over 21 million dollars in today's money wizard builds his
