Henry Loomis Nelson was born on January 5, 1846 in New York City, New York, United States. He was the son of Theophilus and Catherine (Lyons) Nelson.
Nelson was graduated from Williams College in the class of 1867. From Williams College he went to the law school of Columbia University, received the degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1869.
Business called Nelson to Kalamazoo, Michigan; during his two years of residence in that city his interest in public questions prompted him to send frequent letters to the newspapers, and ultimately resulted in shifting his attention from law to journalism.
In 1876 he moved to Greenfield, Massachussets, where he became owner and editor of the Franklin County Times.
From the concerns of a small New England city he was soon attracted to the national capital. He was Washington correspondent of the Boston Post from 1878 to 1885.
In 1885 he was called from Washington to become editor of the newspaper that he had been representing.
A year later a change in the ownership of the Post set him adrift. He returned to New York and for eight years he engaged in editorial work, first for the Star, then for the Mail and Express, then for the World.
From 1894 to 1898, during the turbulent final years of the Cleveland administration, the free-silver campaign of 1896, and the tumult of the Spanish-American War, he was editor of Harper's Weekly.
The succeeding years he gave to free-lance writing, until in 1902 Williams College called him to the newly created David A. Wells Professorship of Political Science.
During his professorial life he continued to write on political problems and personalities for the leading magazines and kept in touch with men and affairs.
He died suddenly in 1908 from an attack of angina pectoris while on a visit to New York.
Nelson was private secretary to John G. Carlisle, then speaker of the House of Representatives. Aside from the editorials in Harper's Weekly, numerous essays in periodicals, and unidentifiable contributions to newspapers, Nelson's chief works are John Rantoul, a novel, published in 1885, and two small books, Our Unjust Tariff Laws (1884), and The Money We Need (1895).

A man of strong convictions, a good hater and a loyal friend, Nelson was typical of the best of that group of Americans who were proud to call themselves Cleveland Democrats. Politically he typified a party and an era.
He was a supporter of Cleveland, an opponent of Bryan, and a sceptical and suspicious observer of the rising star of Theodore Roosevelt.
Nelson was a fighter for civil-service reform, a free-trader, a believer in the gold standard, an anti-imperialist.
As an educator he was eloquent in support of the humanities, upheld the intellectual life against the excesses of organized athletics, employed the project method years before the term was known to college men, and in the classroom stirred his students by his piquant speech and his faculty of revealing the simple principles underlying complicated governmental problems.
Nelson was known as an original thinker, a picturesque speaker, and a friendly and delightful companion. His shrewd common sense, political sagacity, and lively style not only commended him to his Boston readers but also brought him to the notice of men prominent in public life.
He was markedly successful as a teacher, bringing to his new work a vigorous mind and a sense of realities.
His positive, dynamic personality made itself felt in all of his undertakings.
On October 14, 1874, he married Ida Frances Wyman of Brooklyn.
