	Christopher Gist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Christopher Gist (1706 – 1759) was one of the first white explorers of the Ohio Country in what would become the United States, credited for providing Great Britain and her colonists with the first detailed description of the Ohio Country.
		Gist is thought to have had little formal education, though it is believed that he received training as a surveyor, more than likely from his father Richard Gist who helped plot the city of Baltimore.
		Gist also was present the next year when the French and their native allies defeated the Braddock Expedition.
