Nelson, Ernest G.
Ernest W. Nelson, born in Norway, came to America at age fifteen. His attendance at an art school in Washington, D.C., was financed by an aunt, who withdrew her support from him when this school was over. Forced into lithography to earn a living, Nelson never again pursued a career in fine arts, and his burgeoning talent in poetry was stunted at this same time. His interests continued, however. He is known to have built a fine private library which was open to many, including Hart Crane.
