Walter Swanson walked into UNL that particular day, hoping to identify his uprooted thistle -- there are roughly 200 different types of thistles worldwide.
Some key elements make this an iconic photo of a midwest American farmer, the heavily worn pioneer hat, giant thistle, distinct work clothes, and determined expression.
