The Discovery of River Gambra 1623 by Richard Jobson Jobson Richard
In 1623 Richard Jobson published an account of a 1620-1621 English voyage up River Gambra, during which a party, led by himself, penetrated to a point some 460 miles up-river. However, Jobson's account of the river, its commerce, natural history, peoples, religions and polities, was the earliest to appear in print, in this fullness of detail, in any language. The purpose of the voyage was to make contact with the gold trade of the West African interior, but in this there was little success.
Jobson's account, almost entirely original, has special interest in its author's observations on the African scene, particularly those on the African peoples and individuals encountered. It was also the earliest detailed account of any part of Black Africa, by an Englishman. Jobson discusses such topics as local agriculture and trade, the role of Islam, political culture, and the position of women.
