&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Biography/History:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;Knute Nelson was born in Vosse Elven, Norway, on February 2, 1843. In 1849, he and his widowed mother emigrated to the United States, settling first in Chicago (1849-1850), then in Dane County, Wisconsin, where he enlisted in the Fourth Wisconsin Cavalry Regiment (1861-1864) during the Civil War. Following the war he graduated from the Albion Academy and studied law in a Madison, Wisconsin, law office, being admitted to the bar in 1867 and then serving as a representative in the Wisconsin assembly (1868-1869).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;In 1871 he moved with his family to Alexandria, Minnesota, where he practiced law while farming a homestead tract. He served as Douglas County attorney (1872-1974), Minnesota state senator (1875-1878), presidential elector (1880), University of Minnesota regent (1882-1893), and fifth district representative to Congress (1883-1889). He was elected governor of Minnesota in 1892 and 1894, which post he resigned in 1895 to run successfully for the United States Senate, where he remained until 1923. Nelson was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Senate Committee on Public Lands, and was active on the commerce and Indian affairs committees. His most notable legislative measures included the Nelson Bankruptcy Act (1898) and the act creating the Department of Commerce and Labor (1902), and he was also active in the establishment of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Nelson also supported a low tariff, a federal income tax, Prohibition, the Sherman Act, and the League of Nations. He died on April 28, 1923, during his fifth senatorial term.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

                <text>Papers of a Civil War veteran: pamphlets, speeches, clippings, photographs (including one with F.D. Roosevelt), sketches of Nelson's life, and GAR mementos. Included is a pamphlet titled "The Controversy as to the Responsibility of the Augsburg Board of Trustees to the United Norwegian Lutheran Church of America from 1890 to 1893," by Oley Nelson and Ole O. Onstad. "Brief History, 1st Norwegian Settlement, Story and Polk Counties in Iowa, 1855" was compiled by Nelson in 1905, and translated by him in 1930. "A Short History of the First Norwegian Settlement in Story and Polk Counties, Iowa" by Nelson was translated by Jacob Hodnefield. The clippings (1914-1938) are articles about Nelson and a few are by him. Nelson, a Slater, Iowa, farmer, merchant, and legislator, was Commander-in-Chief of the GAR in 1935.</text>
