Norman Kittson
Norman Wolfred Kittson (6 March 1814 – 10 May 1888) was one of early Minnesota's most prominent citizens. He was best known as first a fur trader, then a steamboat-line operator and finally a railway entrepreneur and owner of thoroughbred racehorses. He was part of the original syndicate that went on to create the Canadian Pacific Railway. Kittson County, Minnesota is named for him, as is Kittson Street in Winnipeg.
