== Early life ==
Joseph Salter was born in Kennetcook, Hants County, Nova Scotia in 1816. He was the tenth, and last, child of Robert Salter and Elizabeth Smith. The Salter family initially lived in Falmouth, Nova Scotia, but later moved to Kennetcook, where Joseph was born on June 7th, 1816.
At the age of twelve, Salter left home and took a schooner across the Bay of Fundy to attend the National School (based on the English National schools) in Saint John, New Brunswick. Not long after leaving the school, Salter clerked for a firm in Saint John until he was 18.〔Ross, Nancy Redmayne, ed., ''The Diary of a Maritimer'', International Maritime Economic History Association, 1996〕 He then departed for Halifax, Nova Scotia where he entered the office of Leander Starr, where he was soon promoted to the position of head clerk. While in Starr’s occupation, Salter made many trading voyages to the West Indies and Africa, earning the nickname “Africana".〔Larracey, Edward W., ''Chocolate River: A Story of the Petitcodiac River'', Lancelot Press Limited, pg. 221〕
