Pierce copied the name out wrong. The author was James C. Ward, author of a series of "Extracts from my Diary" published in The Argonaut during 1878.
Upvote:4
I believe you are looking for James Ward who is credited with writing the book, "Perils, Pastimes, and Pleasures of an Emigrant in Australia, Vancouver’s Island and California." (See: Perils, Pastimes, and Pleasures of an Emigrant in Australia, Vancouver’s Island and California).
He is also mentioned on page 65 in a book called Gold Seeking: Victoria and California in the 1850s by David Goodman.
I hope this gives you a little more to go on! Best of luck.
