Sir Alexander Mackenzie was a Scottish explorer famous for being the first person to navigate the length of the Mackenzie River in Canada and reach the Pacific Ocean overland from Canada. He established the North West Company's control over the Canadian fur trade with the Pacific Northwest and expanded the European presence in western Canada during the late 18th century. Mackenzie published his expeditions and fur trading experiences which helped increase European knowledge of western North America.
