James Henry Gray, CM AOE (August 31, 1906 – November 12, 1998) was a Canadian journalist, historian and author.
Over the next eight years, he worked at the Exchange as an office clerk, bookkeeper, statistician and grain trader.
During that time, he upgraded his education by reading library books on politics, religion and economics, with a view to becoming a freelance writer.
He left the paper because he didn't want to write articles supporting his editor's opposition to federal agricultural subsidies, and moved to Calgary, Alberta.
In 1980, he was chosen by Alberta Report magazine as one of the top twelve Albertans of the 1970s for "creating a series of popular histories on the agonies and triumphs that brought about Western Canada."
