==Early life and ancestry==
Drury was born on September 2, 1918 in Houston, Texas, to Alden Monteith Drury (1895-1975), a citrus industry manager, real estate broker, and insurance agent, and Flora Allen (1894-1973), a legislative representative for the California Parent-Teacher Association. The family moved to Whittier, California, where Alden and Flora had a daughter, Anne Elizabeth (1924-1998.) Drury was a direct descendant of Hugh Drury (1616-1689)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Hugh Drury in Edmund Rice 6-generation database )〕 and Lydia Rice (1627-1675), daughter of Edmund Rice (1594-1663), all of whom were early immigrants to Massachusetts Bay Colony.〔Edmund Rice (1638) Association, 2010. Descendants of Edmund Rice: The First Nine Generations. (CD-ROM)〕
Allen Stuart Drury grew up in Porterville, California and earned his B.A. at Stanford University in 1939. He told Writer's Yearbook that he was "associate editor, wrote a column, and editorials." His last series of novels, written shortly before he died, were inspired by his experiences at Stanford. After graduating from Stanford, Drury went to work for the ''Tulare Bee'' in Porterville in 1940, where he won the Sigma Delta Chi Award for editorial writing from the Society of Professional Journalists.〔 He then moved to Bakersfield and wrote for the Bakersfield Californian, where he "handled what they called county news." 〔 Drury enlisted in the U.S. Army on July 25, 1942 in Los Angeles and trained as an infantry soldier, but was discharged "because of an old back injury."〔〔National Archives and Records Administration. U.S. World War II Army Enlistment Records, 1938-1946 (on-line ). Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations Inc, 2005.〕
