The superstructure for this bridge was built at our Keystone Works in Pittsburgh. The undertaking required me to visit Keokuk occasionally, and there I made the acquaintance of clever and delightful people, among them General and Mrs. Reid, and Mr. and Mrs. Leighton. Visiting Keokuk with some English friends at a later date, the impression they received of society in the Far West, on what to them seemed the very outskirts of civilization, was surprising. A reception given to us one evening by General Reid brought together an assembly creditable to any town in Britain. More than one of the guests had distinguished himself during the war and had risen to prominence in the national councils.

白话
这座桥的上部结构在匹兹堡的基斯通工厂制造。工程需要卡内基偶尔去基奥卡克,他在那里结识了一些聪明有趣的人,包括里德将军夫妇和莱顿夫妇。后来他带英国朋友去基奥卡克,朋友们对这片他们眼中近乎文明边缘的西部社会大为惊讶:里德将军办的一场招待会,来宾阵容放到英国任何城镇都拿得出手,其中好几位在战争中立过功,还在国家议事机构里崭露头角。核心意思是:别用地理偏见低估地方上的人才和社交圈。
上下文
卡内基自传中讲基奥卡克大桥建设期间,他在美国西部小城的人际见闻。
今日一问
你有没有因为某个地方“偏远”,就低估那里的人和机会?
