Summary "James Watt" by Andrew Carnegie is a historical account written in the early 20th century." The book focuses on the life and achievements of James Watt, the inventor of the steam engine, highlighting his background, challenges, and the evolution of his groundbreaking inventions. Carnegie's interest was piqued, as he owed his own fortune to Watt's innovations, presenting a narrative that intertwines the personal and technological aspects of Watt's life. "The opening of the book sets the stage for Watt's early life, detailing his lineage and family background, which contributed to his character and future endeavors." Carnegie describes Watt's upbringing in Greenock, emphasizing his mother's influence on his education and early interests in mechanics. The narrative paints Watt as a delicate child with an innate curiosity for how things worked, often experimenting with simple tools and household items. This foundational period is crucial, as it establishes Watt's early struggles and foreshadows his later accomplishments in harnessing steam power, a journey that will be explored in greater depth throughout the rest of the volume.
