"Clifford Merrill Drury had a noteworthy career as a pastor, seminary professor, historian, and Navy chaplain. Born on November 7, 1897 in Clinton, Iowa, to William Drury and Charity Mae Dell, Drury was a graduate of Buena Vista College and San Francisco Theological Seminary and earned a PhD from the University of Edinburgh. As a pastor, Drury served in Shanghai, China, and Moscow, Idaho. While in Moscow, Drury's proximity to the Nez Perce Indians sparked an interest in the history of early missionaries in the Pacific Northwest. This interest launched a writing career that culminated in twenty-five books and numerous magazine articles. " (from Archives West). Very Good+ .
