Frederick William Hurst, artist and accidental world traveler of the 19th century. From his birthplace in 1833 on the Isle of Jersey in the English Channel to New Zealand, the gold fields of Australia, the Sandwich Islands, San Francisco, and the Salt Lake Valley, Frederick William Hurst recorded observations, emotions, conversations, dreams, opinions (often of a sharp nature), and sketches of the beauties he encountered in the world of his travels.
