Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reveille, 1915, Vol. 10 On completing the Course in cotton manufacturing, he chose the cotton mill as a life work. The success attained is evidenced by the fact that -in the mill where he worked he made a record for accuracy and speed in work that has never been equalled. Although he held a position not often attained by one so young, yet his strong desire to visit America-caused him to leave this position and come to Taftsville, 1892, Here he resided for five years. In 1897 he accepted a posmon as Professor of Pow-er Weaving and Practical De signing in Lowell Textile School, Lowell, Mass. This position he held for ten years, during which time he was engaged as an expert on textile patents and often was hired by the law courts as an expert witness. While in Lowell, Prof. Nelson wrote several books on textiles, which have since been used-as text-books in all 'places in the world where textiles are taught.' Previous to this time and since then he has been a large contributor to all the leading textile papers and magazines of the country.
