From the article... "A number of years later, in 1881, U.S. Captain Calvin L. Hooper landed on Wrangell Island and claimed it for the United States. One of the landing party was famed explorer John Muir."

"That's Wrangell, not Wrangel Island."Wrangel Island has always been considered the Chutchka (sp?) Autonomous Territory. Part of Russia.
