Background
Newton Bishop Drury was born in San Francisco in 1889 to prominent newspaperman and politician Wells Drury and his wife,
Elvira Lorraine Bishop. He graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 1912 and served in the U.S. Army Balloon
Corps during World War I. The destruction he witnessed during the war inspired him to become a staunch conservationist. Drury
