G. f. Carlson. NorrOk's scientific
horse breeder and farmer of world
wide fame became Interested in the
horse when he was very small boy
on his fathers farm in Iowa, and 1t Is
probable that his early environment
had much to do with his lifetime study
of embryology of the horse in which
he is now recognized as the foremost
authority in the world,

Mr., Carlson was born. The small boy

apparent in the study of the horse.
From that day up till the present
time Mr.. Carlson's life was given over
entirely to the study of this animal.
Further in the distance in this picture
is the Carlson home. Near here Mr..
Carlson was born on January /, 1888.

tied on his ranch in Holt county, Ne.
braska. Horses for experimental pur.
poses We're cheap in those days and
hundreds of them were used by Mr..
Carlson in his pursuits of further
knowledge of scientific breeding.
Mr.. Carlson has many interesting
occurrences to relate dealing with his
experiences with Indians. Among the
most interesting Is a story about
friendly Indians. It was during the
time of Clusters trouble. Mr.. Carlson,
with party of government men, was
making his way in the Buffalo Gap vi
| entity with a large bunch of cattle
/ The watchers during the night report
/ ed Indians were following the white
men and trouble was expected. 1t was
| discovered later that the Indians were
really friendly and were following the
! government men as a protection tC
! them, having discovered another banC
of hostile reds We're arranging to mas
sacre the white men.
Mr.. Carlson has done much editOria
work for magazines and journals
mostly dealing with scientific subjects
Some years ago he won a $50 prize
for an article he had written on Alas
ka.
Just why Mr.. Carlson came to Nor
folk, he has not yet made clear, bu
he has declared on various occasion
that Norfolk is a logical point for tn
breeding of pure bred horses and tina
because he neither desired to locate il
a small town or in a large city. h
chose Norfolk.

knowledge of animals aided his pro-
eress toward higher studies. He at
tended the Keokuk Ia, university and
later crossed the Atlantic to resume
further studies in embryolOgy in the
universities of Berlin, Scotland, vi
emma and Paris.
Mr. Carsons first visit to Nebraska
probably links him with his decision
of settling in Norfolk. In 1874 he was
appointed inspector of live stock in
the government employ His head
quarters were at Springfield, Mo, but
his territory was an extensive one.
Three times he travelled on the same
mule from Springfield, Mo-. to the
Gulf of Mexico and return. These
trips brought with them many hard
ships, the effects of which however,
Mr.. Carlson does not show today. On
several of these trips to the gulf, Mr..
Carlsons hotel consisted of his dog

more rain and mud, the softer the
bed" he declared, when asked how aC-
commodations were in those days.
in 1874 Mr.. Carlson rode into Nor
folk with a number of government
cattle for the forts north of this city.
There were only a mill and store
and probably a house or two here
then" he says.
For seven years he continued in the
capacity of inspector, and in the mean
time he farmed on small scale in
Yankton county, South Dakota. His
Office at Springfield, Mo, has since
been abandoned by the government
