The navigators who followed Columbus brought back rubber several times to Europe, but they were not found in practical use just because they were "unusual on the new continent." At this time, the rubber was hard in winter, and it was a nasty thing that stuck and smelled in summer.
The first study of the use of rubber was Charles, France=It is Mari de La Condamine.
