Augustus Baker Peirce

Augustus Baker Peirce also known as Gus Pierce (7 October 1840 – 1919), was an American sailor, actor, raconteur and artist in several mediums, who spent some 10 years in Australia. His autobiography ''Knocking About'' was accepted by some critics as a largely true, if flawed, account of his travels and experiences.
:''Although he generally used the spelling "Pierce" in Australia, his birth name "Peirce" has been used here, except in relation to his wife and sons, who took the name "Pierce".
==History==
Gus Peirce was born in West Medford, Massachusetts the son either of merchant George A. Peirce, and Jane Peirce, née Nye〔Kerr, Joan ''Dictionary of Australian Artists to 1870'' Oxford University Press, Melbourne, 1992, pp. 614–616. ISBN 0195532902〕 or Major Moses Peirce and Mehitable () Peirce, née Nye. He may have had an early career with the US Navy and was a sailor on the ''Oriental'' (Capt. Osgood) which left New York Harbor on 27 September 1859 and arrived at Port Phillip on 12 January 1860, when he deserted ship by swimming ashore.〔 He embarked on various occupations: selling meat pies for George Millbank at New Inglewood; selling Frank Weston's "Wizard Oil" in Dunolly; landscape painting in Melbourne; working as photographer's assistant for Batchelder and O'Neill of Salem, Massachusetts and scenery painting for the Lyceum Theatre. He went snake hunting with Joseph Shires (ca.1822 – 16 March 1892), the famous inventor of a snake-bite cure. He travelled by Murray steamboat to Wentworth, where he acted as bum bailiff for "the White Chinaman" John Egge against a family of acrobats.
