Oswald Justice Travaillot was a sailor from France who travelled to Oregon and the
gold fields of the
Fraser River in the 1850's. By 1858, he was a well-known, but not well-respected, miner; he later
served as surveyor in the Cariboo from about 1859 to about 1874. Captain Travaillot,
as he was called, died in hospital in Barkerville on 1 February 1879.
