ROBERT GRAY

Robert Gray was an American navigator. He was born in 1755 at Rhode Island and died in 1806. He traded with the Indians on the north-west coast of America, and returned in 1790 via China, being the first person to carry the American flag around the world. He sailed into the Columbia River in 1792, from which arose the American claim to Oregon.
