Anderson, Edward Lowell (1842 – 1916)

« For many years I have been schooling horses for my recreation, and I have had advice and instruction from some of the most accomplished horsemen of our day. In particular I owe my acknowledgments to Mr. Joseph Merklen, formerly of the French Cavalry Service. From him I learned the method of horse-gymnastics. » Présentation de l’éditeur (1881)

« Avocat de formation, né à Cincinnati (Ohio, États-Unis). Il a fréquenté la Phillips Exeter Academy avec son frère jumeau, Frederick Longworth Anderson, mais dû interrompre ses études pour s’enrôler en 1862 dans l’armée unioniste lors de la guerre de Sécession. Nommé capitaine en 1863 dans le 52 e Ohio Infantery, blessé à Jonesboro. Il fini son droit après la guerre; admis au barreau de l’Ohio en 1866. Doit son instruction équestre à un ancien officier de la cavalerie française, Joseph Merklen (1845-1901). Ses livres sur l’équitation étaient très estimés si l’on en juge les revues de presse mentionnées dans ses ouvrages.
On lui doit un relais d’importance sur la diffusion du bauchériste aux États-Unis et sur la reconnaissance du travail équestre d’ Henry de Bussigny . Pour en savoir plus sur Anderson et Merklen, voyez l’introduction de Frédéric Magnin dans French Equitation, un baucheriste en Amérique d’Henry L. de Bussigny. » Bibliothèque Mondiale du Cheval
