Richard Jobson (explorer) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Richard Jobson (explorer)
Richard Jobson (fl. 1620–1623) was an English explorer. His noted work is ''The Golden Trade'' in which he describes his voyages to Ethiopia and the Gambia River during 1620–1621. It is also the earliest known European work to mention the game of Mancala. ==Life== He was appointed in 1620 to command an expedition to explore the River Gambia, for a group of adventurers. Former attempts in 1618 and 1619 had been failure, because of consequence of the hostility of the Portuguese and health problems. Jobson, sailing from England on 25 October 1620, and arriving at the mouth of the Gambia on 17 November, went up the river beyond the Barrakunda Falls, to the Tenda area. He did not find the gold he sought.〔
