An American Four-In-Hand In Britain is a travelogue written by Andrew Carnegie in 1907. The book chronicles Carnegie’s journey through Britain in a four-in-hand carriage, which is a carriage drawn by four horses, accompanied by his wife and daughter. The book provides a detailed account of their travels, including their experiences in London, Scotland, and Wales. Carnegie also discusses the history and culture of Britain, as well as his observations on the social and political climate of the time. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the world of turn-of-the-century travel and provides insight into the mind of one of America’s most prominent industrialists and philanthropists.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
