| Title | Elmer Nelson fragment from an unidentified publication |
| Dates | 1890-1899 |
| Abstract | An unidentified fragment signed by Elmer Nelson containing three completed stories and a fourth that is unfinished. "Blackbird" tells of a boy hunting blackbirds. This is followed by "In the Forest" where two brothers hunt a bear. The final completed story, "Fell In," tells of two brothers out fishing when they encounter a wolf. Following these stories is a detailed illustration of two women eating and, on the verso, the beginnings of a story titled "Lost in the Woods." The work may have been intended as another Nelson brothers periodical. |
