Carnegie Estate early papers, 1800-1901 (bulk 1849-1889).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145567431

In the first subseries, papers relate to the rise of the Carnegie brothers and their partners in steel and other businesses.

Regardless, they document transactions that led to the creation of a Thomas Morrison Carnegie, Sr., Estate and its subsequent purchase of most of Cumberland Island.
