Born in London, he was the son of a printer. While in San Francisco in 1849, he wrote this account of the Gold Rush under the pseudonym J. Tyrwhitt Brooks, M.D. It was convincing and published widely in Europe. It turned out to be a hoax. He wrote it in London, based on existing publications and reports. It was accepted as fact well into the twentieth cenury. Copley sale at Sotheby's New York, "Magnificent American, Historical Documents" 10 May 2011, lot 1059. Howes V134; Sabin 8350.
