I don’t trust Erskine. There’s no evidence he even existed aside from the one book. His account of Mobile adds nothing to Nordhoff, and his rendering of “Highland Laddie” has five lines per verse, which no one who had actually worked at or even seen cotton-screwing would have reported. I think “Erskine” plagiarized Nordhoff and can be completely disregarded. |
