Artisans and Tradesmen are defined as those accomplished in the field of art and those who crafted or traded items or were part of select Royal Guilds previously established in the old world which continued practices in the American Colonies. The online Guild's Dictionary of Arts and Trades is an extensive listing of Colonial trades and their definitions.
