  Nils Ericson
Nils Ericson (born January 31, 1802 in Långbanshyttan[?], Värmland, Sweden - died September 8, 1860) was a Swedish inventor and mechanical engineer, as was his brother, John Ericsson.
Nils Ericson was knighted by king Oscar I of Sweden in 1854, which made him revert to a spelling of his surname with only one "s".
Between 1830 and 1850 Nils Ericson planned and directed the construction of the canals at Stallbacka, Säffle, Karlstad and Albrektsund.

During supper Nils heard exactly how much land each of his eight grown brothers farmed, how their crops were coming on, and how much livestock they were feeding.
