Biography
Ross Randall Calvin was born in Illinois in 1889. He attended De Pauw University (graduating in 1911), Harvard, where he got his Ph.D. in English in 1916, and the General Theological Seminary in New York City from 1920-1921. He served as an Episcopalian minister at the Church of the Good Shepard in Silver City, New Mexico, from 1927-1942, and at the St. James Church in Clovis, N.M. thereafter. He was the author of four noted publications as well as a contributor to numerous religious and regional publications. Calvin's non-religious writings deal primarily with the southwest and the climatological, archaeological, anthropological, and historical influences in this region's present cultural and ecological state.
