This book states that the origin of the Carnegie Hero Fund can be traced back to Andrew Carnegie's statement in a letter in which he is discussing the Harwick Mining Disaster: 'I can't get the women and children of that mine disaster out of my mind'. By 1935, the Carnegie Hero had helped some 10,000 people and under the last heading of the book, Miscellaneous, we learn that for the US and Canada up to 1935, the Fund had given awards amounting to $4,917,482.
