Life
The lander was born as a son of the inns of Cornwall トゥルーロ in the Fighting Cocks Inn (later the Dolphin Inn) at the time. Because the sounding out place hard to pass of the lander participated in the West Africa expedition of 1825 by Scottish explorer Hugh Clapperton (Hugh Clapperton) as an assistant, it began. Clapperton died near ソコト located in today's Nigeria in April, 1827, and, as for the lander, it was the European who survived it alone in this expedition at that point. After having advanced from there to the southeastern area, the lander returned to the U.K. in July, 1828.
In 1830, the lander proceeded to West Africa again with younger brother John lander (John). The two who went ashore in バダグリ (Badagry) on March 22, 1830 went down the lower part of a river basin of Niger from ブッサ (Bussa) to the sea. Furthermore, I came back again and performed the ベヌエ river of the branch and a sounding out place hard to pass of the Niger delta after a sounding out place hard to pass cost Niger River to approximately 160 kilometers of upper reaches. They returned to the U.K. in 1831.
In 1932, the lander led the visitor whom merchants of MacGregor Laird (Macgregor Laird) and others Liverpool organized and proceeded to Africa and aimed at building the trade base at the join of Niger River and the ベヌエ river. However, as for this expedition, most of members lost their life for fever in the face of various difficulty, and the expedition was not able to arrive at ブッサ either. A river was attacked during going up by a canoe by an African tribeswoman, and the lander was hit in its thigh with the bullet of the musket. The lander arrived to the coastal place, but, by this gunshot wound, died there.
Honoring
There is the monument of the lander by sculptor Neville no G Bernard (Neville Northey Burnard) in トゥルーロ on the slope of the lemon street and one of the local junior high schools praises a lander again and names the name. The construction of the stone pillar which memorialized a lander began in 1835 [1]. In 1832, the lander won the founder medal which was a gold medal of royal Geographical Association for "important contribution on deciding a river channel and the source of Niger River", and it was the prize winner that this medal was the first [2].
In November, 2004, I memorialized birth 200 years of the Richard lander and praised the remarkable achievements of lander brothers and was dispatched because "a visitor (Expedition of Goodwill) of the good will" traced the trip of the river sounding out place hard to pass of brothers.
