Seed of the steel trust born in Millvale origins
A historical account traces the seed of the steel trust to Andrew Kloman and his brother in 1858 at a Millvale iron plant, later Kloman Bros, then Kloman & Phipps, with Carnegie joining and the firm evolving through Bessemer process innovations by Bessem er and Kelly. It notes rise of steel manufacture, rising rail demand, and the roles of Bessem er, Kelly, and Mushet in perfecting the process, with Bessem er gaining fame and wealth, Kelly receiving modest recognition.
