Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Golden Trade: Or A Discovery Of The River Gambra, And The Golden Trade Of The Aethiopians is a historical book written by Richard Jobson and published in 1904. The book is based on Jobson's personal experience of exploring the River Gambra in West Africa in the early 17th century. The book provides a detailed account of Jobson's journey through the River Gambra, which he believed to be the legendary River Niger. He describes the people and cultures he encountered along the way, including the Aethiopians, who were known for their gold trade. Jobson's account of the golden trade of the Aethiopians is particularly noteworthy, as it provides insights into the African gold trade during the 17th century. He describes the various methods used by the Aethiopians to mine and trade gold, and the role of European traders in the process. Overall, The Golden Trade is a valuable historical document that provides a unique perspective on the African gold trade and the exploration of West Africa during the early modern period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
