JOHN DEERe was raised in the time when most young people went into apprenticeships to start their careers. A local blacksmith, Captain Benjamin Lawrence, had an opening in his shop for a worker boy and took John Deere under his wing to learn everything he knew about blacksmithing. There is no real way to determine if this was what John Deere wanted to do for the rest of his life but he was very skilled with tools and a blacksmith job was perfect for him.
