Lawson declared Indians excellent craftsmen
The Indians, moreover, were at best poor workers in the fields, though some became skilled artisans. 19 [Note 19: The Indians, Lawson declared, 'are as apt to learn any Handicraft, as any People that the World affords'; he referred to their native crafts and also to 'the Indian Slaves in South Carolina.' History (1718), p. 235.]
