Kehidupan awal dan leluhur
[sunting | sunting sumber]Drury lahir pada 2 September 1918 di Houston, Texas, dari pasangan Alden Monteith Drury (1895-1975), seorang manajer industri sitrus, broker real estate, dan agen asuransi, dan Flora Allen (1894-1973), seorang perwakilan legislatif untuk Asosiasi Orangtua-Guru California.[5] Keluarganya pindah ke Whittier, California, di mana Alden dan Flora memiliki seorang putri, Anne Elizabeth (1924-1998.) Drury adalah keturunan langsung dari Hugh Drury (1616-1689)[6] dan Lydia Rice (1627-1675), putri dari Edmund Rice (1594-1663), semuanya adalah imigran awal dari Koloni Teluk Massachusetts.[7]
Allen Stuart Drury dibesarkan di Porterville, California, dan meraih gelar B.A. di Stanford University, di mana ia bergabung dengan Alpha Kappa Lambda, pada 1939. Ia menulis kepada Buku Tahunan Penulis bahwa ia adalah "penyunting asosiasi, menulis sebuah kolom dan editorial."[8] Serial novel terakhirnya, yang ditulis sebelum ia wafat, terinspirasi oleh pengalaman-pengalamannya di Stanford. Setelah lulus dari Stanford, Drury bekerja untuk Tulare Bee di Porterville pada 1940, di mana ia memenangkan Sigma Delta Chi Award untuk penulisan editorial dari Society of Professional Journalists.[5] Ia kemudian pindah ke Bakersfield dan menulis untuk Bakersfield Californian, di mana ia "menganani apa yang mereka sebut berita-berita county."[8] Drury masuk ketentaraan pada 25 Juli 1942, di Los Angeles dan dilatih menjadi prajurit infanteri, namun dilepastugaskan "karena luka punggung lama ."[8][9]
