James Gumm was a member of John Batman's party that was involved in the foundation of the city that became Melbourne.〔 John Batman's Journal http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/portphillip/inter/3565.shtml 〕 While travelling up Salt Water River as part of Batman's party Gumm obtained fresh water by making "a hole with a stick which He did about 2 feet deep and in One hour we had a plentiful supply of good soft water". The place was named Gumm's Well in his honour. 〔from Batman's Journal http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/portphillip/0/0/1/tdoc/pp0016-055-0.shtml〕 A bend of the Maribyrnong River near Keilor was also named after him, but this name is no longer in use.〔 from Batman's Journal http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/portphillip/0/0/1/tdoc/pp0016-058-0.shtml〕 Gumm was left at Indented Head while John Batman returned to Launceston to prepare a larger expedition. He was left with three months' worth supplies with five other men named Dodd; Thompson; and three Sydney Aboriginals Bullet, Bungett, and Old Bull.〔 a description of the party left at Port Phillip in Batman's journal http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/portphillip/0/0/1/tdoc/pp0016-073-0.shtml 〕 Batman put Gumm in charge of setting up the small settlement and gardens.〔 from Batman's Journal http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/portphillip/0/0/1/tdoc/pp0016-075-0.shtml〕 While waiting for Batman to return on 6 July 1835 William Buckley appeared at the camp site of John Batman's Port Phillip Association with a party of aboriginals wearing kangaroo skins and carrying Aboriginal weapons.〔Reminisces of James Buckley http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/portphillip/inter/7335.shtml〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Gumm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
