There is no historical evidence to suggest that Christopher Gist saved George Washington's life. Christopher Gist was an explorer and surveyor who worked closely with Washington, assisting him in his early military career and helping to survey lands in the Ohio Valley. While Gist played an important role in Washington's life, there is no specific incident where he is credited with saving Washington's life.
